- * : Assume equivalent pipe length of Y branch to be 0.5 m (1.64 ft),
that of header to be 1m (3.3 ft), calculation purpose
- It is recommended that indoor unit is installed at lower position than
the header.
- ** : To apply conditional application.

(**) Conditional Application (In case of D12 is the farthest in door)
Below condition must be satisfied for 40~90 m (131~295 ft) piping length
after first branch.

Diameter of pipes between first branch and the last branch should be
increased by one step, except if the pipe diameter B, C3 is same as
diameter A (main pipe diameter)
