All dimensions provided are in accordance with ASTM B280 – Standard.

Design pressure = 551 psig.

ACR Tubing is available as hard drawn or annealed (soft) and are suitable for use with R410A refrigerant.

• Commercially available piping often contains dust and other materials. Always blow it clean with a dry inert gas.
• Prevent dust, water or other contaminants from entering the piping during installation. Contaminants can cause mechanical failure.

LG Engineered Y-branch Kits and Header Kits

LG Y-branch and Header kits are highly engineered devices designed to evenly divide the flow of refrigerant, and are used to join one pipe
segment to two or more segments.

No Substitutions

• If the diameter of the branch pipe segments differ from that of the designated refrigerant piping, trim to the desired section using a pipe

cutter, and then use an adapter to connect.

Do not install Y-branches

each pipe segment entered into LATS piping design software.

LG Y-Branch Kits Consist of:

• Y-branches: For heat pump systems - one liquid line and one vapor line (two [2] total).
• Reducer fittings as applicable.
•

Install Correctly

• Y-branches can be installed upstream between the Header and the outdoor unit, but a Y-branch cannot be installed between a header

and an indoor unit.

• To avoid the potential of uneven refrigerant distribution through a header fitting, minimize the difference in equivalent pipe length be-

tween the header fitting and each connected indoor unit.
