WARNING
Pipe length after header branching
(a~f)
It is recommended that difference in
length of the pipes connected to the
Indoor Units is minimized.
Performance difference between
Indoor Units may occur.
• * : Assume equivalent piping length of Y branch to be 1.6ft(0.5m), that of header to be 3.3ft(1m), calculation purpose
• It is recommended that indoor unit Is installed at lower position than the header.
• Piping length from outdoor branch to outdoor unit ≤ 33ft(10m), equivalent length : max 43ft(13m)
(for 12ton(14HP) or more)
Branch pipe can not be used after header

If overall equivalent pipe length is greater than or equal to 295ft(90m) from ODU to the longest IDU,
The diameter of the main pipe (Gas and Liquid pipes) must be increased as follow.
