Single type
Refrigerant tubing between the indoor and outdoor units
should be kept as short as possible.
The length of the refrigerant tubes between the indoor
and outdoor units are limited by the elevation difference
between the 2 units. During tubing work, try to make both
the tubing length (L) and the difference in elevation (H1)
as short as possible. Refer to Table 1-4.
