WARNING
Pipe length after header branching (a~f)
It is recommended that difference in length of the pipes con-
nected to the Indoor Units is minimized. Performance difference
between Indoor Units may occur.
Outside unit Connection
!
WARNING
• In case of pipe diameter B connected after first branch is bigger than
the main pipe diameter A, B should be of the same size with A.
Ex) In case indoor unit combination ratio 120% is connected to
20HP(58kW) outside unit .
1) Outside unit main pipe diameter A : Ø28.58(Gas pipe),
Ø12.7(liquid pipe)
2) Pipe diameter B after first branch according to 120% indoor unit
ombination(69.6kW) : Ø28.58(gas pipe), Ø15.88(liquid pipe)
Therefore, pipe diameter B connected after first branch
would be Ø28.58(gas pipe) / Ø12.7(liquid pipe) which is
same with main pipe diameter.

CAUTION
• Bending radius should be
at least twice the diameter
of the pipe.
• Bend pipe after 500 mm or
more from branch(or
header).
Do not bend U type.
It may cause Performance
unsatisfactory or noise.
Pipe Connection Method/Precautions for
Series connections between Outside units
- Separate Y branch joints are needed for series connections between
outside unit s.
- Please refer to the below connection examples to install pipe connec-
tions between outside unit s.
Pipe connection between outside
unit s (General Case)
Pipes between outside unit s
are 2m or less
