Refrigerant piping system

Y branch method
1. When installing 1 outside unit
independently
Ex) 5 indoor units connected
Ⓐ : Outside unit
Ⓑ : 1st branch (Y branch)
Ⓒ : Indoor units
Ⓓ : Indoor unit
Ú Outside unit Ⓐ ~ 1st branch Ⓑ:
Main pipe diameter (A)
Outside unit Liquid pipe
capacity [mm(inch)]
8 HP Ø9.52(3/8)
10 HP Ø9.52(3/8)
16 HP Ø12.7(1/2)
20 HP Ø12.7(1/2)

For the first branch pipe (B), use the branch pipe
that fits the main pipe diameter (A).
• When the pipe diameter (B) connected after 1st branching is larger than the main pipe diameter (A), Install the pipe with the pipe
diameter (B) after 1st branching that is the same as the main pipe diameter (A).
Ex) When connecting with 120% of the indoor unit to 10 HP
1) Outside unit main pipe diameter: Ø22.2(7/8) (Gas pipe) / Ø9.52(3/8)(Liquid pipe)
2) Pipe diameter after 1st branching by 120% indoor unit combination : Ø28.58(1-1/8) (Gas pipe) / Ø12.7(1/2) (Liquid pipe)
Therefore set the pipe diameter (B) after 1st branching to Ø22.2(7/8) (Gas pipe) / Ø9.52(3/8) (Liquid pipe) of main pipe diameter (A).
• When the pipe distance corresponding to the farthest indoor unit from the outside unit is 90m(295ft) or above, you must change the
main pipe diameter according to the outside unit capacity in accordance with the following table. (This applies to both the liquid and
gas pipes.)
