System Piping

 CAUTION

VRF system piping is customized for each installation. 

The  Lennox  VRF  Selection  Software  (LVSS)  piping 

report is an engineered design that must be followed. 
The piping diagram or diagrams included within the LVSS 
report have been prepared based on the information 
provided to the Lennox VRF applications department. 

When  the  indicated  lengths  change  from  the  figures 

stated within the report, it is imperative that prior to the 

commencement of the refrigerant pipe work installation, 

Lennox VRF applications department are informed of 
these proposed changes.

Upon receipt of this new information the Lennox VRF 

applications department will confirm any changes that 

may be applicable to this installation. If changes are 

required, a new piping diagram will be produced and will 

supersede all other previously provided documents.
Failure to provide this information regarding changes 

to the original design may lead to insufficient capacity, 

equipment  failure,  warranty  being  made  void  and  the 

refusal to commission the system.  

 CAUTION

NOTE - Lennox VRF and Lennox Mini-Split products are similar in appearance to each other. Refer to the unit’s model 
number to determine if the unit is a VRF (V) or Mini-Split (M) unit.  It is not possible to mix the two types of equipment 
on any system.
