Combination of Y branch/header method
Example : 5 Indoor Units connected
Ⓐ
: Outdoor Unit
Ⓑ
: 1st branch (Y branch)
Ⓒ
: Y branch
Ⓓ
: Indoor Unit
Ⓔ
: Header
Ⓕ
: Sealed piping

Total pipe length = A+B+C+a+b+c+d+e ≤ 300m
• * : Assume equivalent pipe length of Y branch to be 0.5m, that of header to be 1m, calculation purpose
• ** : Indoor Unit should be installed at lower position than the header
Longest pipe length
* Equivalent pipe length
A+B+b ≤ 150m
A+B+b ≤ 175m
Longest pipe length after 1st branch
B+b ≤ 40m
