The total length of each liquid line is as follows:
ø22.2 mm [7/8 in]: A = 40 m [131 ft]
ø19.05 mm [3/4 in]: A1 + A2 = 4 m [14 ft]
ø9.52 mm [3/8 in]:B + C + D + E + a + b + f = 60 m [192 ft]
ø6.35 mm [1/4 in]:c + d + e = 20 m [64 ft]
Therefore,
<Calculation example>
Additional refrigerant charge
= 40 m [131 ft] × 0.21 kg/m [2.26 oz/ft] + 4 m [14 ft] × 0.14 kg/m [1.51 oz/ft] + 60 m [192 ft] × 0.054 kg/m [0.59 oz/ft] + 20 m [64 ft] × 0.021 kg/m [0.23 oz/ft] +
6 kg [212 oz] + 2 kg [71 oz] + 2 kg [71 oz] + 5 kg [177 oz] + 2 kg [71 oz]
= 29.7 kg [1048 oz]

to prevent heat damage.
Caution:

Refrigerant pipe connection
This product needs connecting pipes for front piping and bottom post-piping.
(Refer to [Fig.10.2.3])
Check the high-pressure/low-pressure piping dimensions before connecting
the refrigerant pipe.
Refer to the table on the next page for piping dimensions.
Make sure that the refrigerant pipe is not touching other refrigerants pipes,
unit panels, or base plates.
Be sure to use non-oxidative brazing when connecting pipes.
Be careful not to burn the wiring and plate when brazing.
10.2. Precautions concerning piping
connection and valve operation
When operating the service valves on the YKMU-H model of units, remove
the relay box by unscrewing the screws indicated with
A
in [Fig. 10.2.1].
Then, temporarily hook part
B
on part
C
using one of the unscrewed
screws. After the completion of valve operation, mount the relay box back on
and replace the wiring as they were. (Refer to [Fig.10.2.1])

Conduct piping connection and valve operation accurately and carefully.
Removing the pinched connecting pipe
When shipped, a pinched connecting pipe is attached to the on-site high-
pressure and low-pressure valves to prevent gas leakage.
Take the following steps
1
through
4
to remove the pinched connecting
pipe before connecting refrigerant pipes to the outdoor unit.
1
Check that the refrigerant service valve is fully closed (turned clockwise
all the way).
2
Connect a charging hose to the service port on the low-pressure/
high-pressure refrigerant service valve, and extract the gas in the
pipe section between the refrigerant service valve and the pinched
connecting pipe.
3
After vacuuming gas from the pinched connecting pipe, sever the
pinched connecting pipe at the location shown in [Fig.10.2.2] and drain
the refrigerant.
4
After completing
2
and
3
heat the brazed section to remove the
pinched connecting pipe.
