REFRIGERANT PIPING CONNECTIONS
Connection Limitations
Single zone systems consist of one outdoor unit and one indoor unit.
One of the most critical elements of a single zone system is the refrigerant piping. Table 13 lists pipe length limits that must be followed in the
design of a Single Zone Wall Mount refrigerant pipe system. Refer to Figure 29 for maximum length and elevation of piping.
