Adding Refrigerant Charge 

If the unit interconnect length exceeds the standard charge length of the system, additional 

refrigerant must be added to the system.  

DuctlessAire

 systems are charged for a 25ft line

set as standard.   

The  additional  refrigerant  MUST  BE  WEIGHED  INTO  THE  SYSTEM,  as  these  are 

critically charged systems.   

The  additional  amount  of  refrigerant  required  is  calculated  from  the  extra  length  of 

interconnect multiplied by the refrigerant quantity in oz/ft.     

All systems use R410A: 

9000/12000btu 

Models 

    Add 0.3 oz/ft of R410A over 25ft 

18000/24000btu    Models 

Add 0.5 oz/ft of R410A over 25ft 

Added Charge required for a line set of:   

Unit

30ft

35ft

40ft

18000/24000btu

2.5oz 

5.0oz 

7.5oz 

10.0oz 

12.5oz 

Remember the Schrader connection for these R410A units is a 5/16” size, not the standard 
¼”,  this  distinguishes  the  system  from  an  R22  system,  so  that  the  incorrect  gauges  or 
refrigerant cannot be used by mistake.

Condensate Piping 

Follow installation instructions and remember water runs down hill. Installation diagram is 

in the Installation and Operation Manual.   

To check the condensate piping system, all condensate should be completely drained from
