SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Allow sufficient space for airflow and unit servicing. See Fig. 22 through 26 for the minimum required clearances.
Piping
IMPORTANT: Both refrigerant lines must be insulated separately.
The minimum refrigerant line length between the indoor and outdoor units is 10 ft. (3m). See Table 11 for the maximum lengths.

Additional Refrigerant Calculation Sizes 30K, 36K and 42K:
Sum Total Liquid Pipe 1/4” (ft.) x 0.24 + Sum Total Liquid Pipe 3/8” (ft.) x 0.58 – 31 oz
Additional Refrigerant Calculation Sizes 48K and 56K:
Sum Total Liquid Pipe 1/4” (ft.) x 0.24 + Sum Total Liquid Pipe 3/8” (ft.) x 0.58 – 51.7 oz
NOTE: If the calculation results in a negative number no additional refrigerant is required.
NOTES:
EXV = Electronic Expansion Device
Electronic expansion valves in the outdoor unit are used as metering devices.
