(*1) : The downstream starting point is the main pipe.
(*2) : Main pipe should be selected based on the capacity type of the outdoor unit.
(*3) : The branch pipe of the fi rst branch should be selected based on the capacity type of the outdoor unit.
(*4) : Select according to the outdoor unit capacity code if the total of the indoor capacity codes exceeds the outdoor unit
capacity code.
(*5) : When a branch header is used for the fi rst branching of an outdoor unit with a capacity type of 120 (kBTU/h) or more
and 247 (kBtu/h) or less, use RBM-HY2043UL (4 branches) and RBM-HY2083UL (8 branches) regardless of the total
capacity code of the downstream indoor units. In addition, for outdoor units of 264 type or larger, the branching header
cannot be used as the fi rst branch.
(*6) : It is possible to select up to a maximum capacity code of 57 in total for each one branch of the branching header.
(*7) : Use the same size as the main pipe if it is larger than the main pipe.
(*8) : When the capacity code of the outdoor unit is 480, it is necessary to increase one size the gas pipe.
