Table 1-4 Branch/Header Tube Selection
Use the following branch tubing sets or tubing sets for branching the system's main tube and indoor unit
tubing.
Capacity after branch
Over 72.8 kW
Over 45.0 kW to 72.8 kW
Over 35.5 kW to 45.0 kW
Over 28.0 kW to 35.5 kW
Over 16.0 kW to 28.0 kW
Over 5.6 kW to 16.0 kW
5.6 kW or below
(*1) Make a selection so as not to exceed the main tubing size.
(*2) Even when 5.6 kW or below, make the gas tube diameter Ø15.88 if 2 or more indoor units are connected after
branching.
(*3) As the tube diameter for the supplied reducer does not match, another reducer must be provided by the installer.

Note: Keep the maximum length between ℓ1 to ℓ48 within 30 m.
1. LM: Main tube with largest tubing diameter (includes LA and all post-branch main tubes that are identical in size to LA) ≤ 120 m.
2. Select the sizes for post-branching main tubes after LM (LB, LC, ...) based on the post-branching capacity.
3. The sizes for the indoor unit connection tubing (ℓ1 to ℓ48) depend on the tubing diameter for the indoor unit.

Maximum height differential of indoor units
after fi nal branch
Four meters is the maximum height differential
between indoor units after the last branch.
If exceeding the 4 m of height between indoor units
after a fi nal branch cannot be helped, split the
difference between rise and fall (2:1).
