2) Select the branch joint diameters for the indoor unit
Based on the total capacity of the indoor unit, select the
branch joint for the indoor unit from the following table.

If the size of the branch joint pipe selected according to
EVRI-BP5
the above table is larger than that of the main pipe
EVRI-BP6
according to Table 4.6 or Table 4.7, the size of the
branch joint pipe should be reduced to make it the same
EVRI-BP6
as the main pipe.

The pipe thickness of the refrigerant piping shall
comply with the applicable legislation.
The minimal pipe thickness for R410A piping must be
in accordance with the table below.

Material: Only seamless phosphorus-deoxidized
copper piping that complies with all applicable
legislation should be used.
Thicknesses: Temper grades and minimum
thicknesses for different diameters of piping should
comply with local regulations.
Design pressure of R410 refrigerant is 4.2MPa
(42bar).
