(*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) : When making the liquid pipe of the main pipe a refrigerant saving size, make height difference between indoor units
smaller than 49 ft (15 m). In addition, the farthest real length pipe is also limited.
(*4) : The branch pipe of the fi rst branch should be selected based on the capacity type of the outdoor unit.
(*5) : Select according to the outdoor unit capacity code if the total of the indoor capacity codes exceeds the outdoor unit
capacity code.
(*6) : 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 241 (kBtu/h) or less, use RBM-HY2043FUL (4 branches) and RBM-HY2083FUL (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.
(*7) : It is possible to select up to a maximum capacity code total 58 for each one branch of the branching header.
(*8) : Use the same size as the main pipe if it is larger than the main pipe.
(*9) : Since the liquid side pipe is not connected to the single port type FS unit, the pipe length is longer than the suction
side gas pipe.
(*10) : Use a suction gas pipe and a liquid pipe for the two pipes branching downstream from the fl ow selector unit and the
dedicated cooling circuit.
(*11) : If the pipe size is 3/4 in. or more, use a suitable material as detailed in the Installation Manual.
(*12) : Please contact our sales representative when merging downstream piping of multi port type.
