Examples 
CAUTION 
The reduced length of the branch joint is the 0.5m of the equiva-
lent length.
The inner units should as equal as possible to be installed in the 
both sides of the U-shape branch joint.
When the outdoor unit is higher and the difference in levels is 
over 20 m, set an oil return bend every 10 m in the air pipe of the 
main pipe. See Fig.5-2 for the specification of the oil return bend. 
When the outdoor unit is lower, H≥40m, the liquid pipe of the 
main pipe needs to be increased by one size. 
The first branch joint connected to the indoor unit must be no 
more than 40 m unless the following conditions are met. Then it 
can extend to 90 m.

Conditions 
Examples 
Increase the size as follows
1. Increase all pipe diameters of the main distribution pipe 
between the first and the last branch joint assembly. (Change the 
pipe diameter in the field.) If the pipe diameter of the main slave 
pipe is the same as the main pipe, it does not need to be 
increased.

2. When counting the total extended length, the actual length of 
above distribution pipes must be doubled (except main pipes and 
distribution pipes that do not need to be increased).
