Notes:
1) Do not exceed 46 meters lineal line length.
2) *Do not exceed 15 meters vertical separation between indoor and outdoor units.
3) **19.05mm [3/4in] vapor line should only be used for 2 ton system if outdoor unit is below or at same
level as indoor unit to assure proper oil return.
4) Always use the smallest liquid line allowable to minimize refrigerant charge.
5) Applications shaded in light gray indicate capacity multipliers between 0.90 and 0.96, which are not
recommended, but are allowed.
6) Applications shared in dark gray are not recommended but to excessive, liquid or suction pressure drop.
