Piping between Unit outdoor ~ Refrigerant Branch Connection (Part A)
• Select from below chart according to system name of the outdoor unit.
• When equivalent piping length between unit outdoor ~ indoor unit is 90m or
longer, sizes of main pipes on the gas and liquid sides (Part A) must be
enlarged.
Piping between Refrigerant Branch Connection ~ Indoor Unit (Part E)
• Match to the size of the connection piping on the indoor unit.

Piping between Refrigerant Branch kits (Part D)
• Select from below chart according to total capacity of indoor units connected
down-stream.
(Note) Sizes of connection pipings must not exceed main pipe sizes
(Part A).

1 Existing pipes must meet the condition of design pressure 3.3MPa.
Specifically, to confirm that the (pipe) thickness must not be less than the
required minimum thickness instructed in “6-1 Selection of piping material
and Refrigerant branching kit”
2 Existing pipes must be connected at Part A.

1. It is necessary to increase the pipe size if the pipe length between the first branch
kit and the final branch kit is over than 40m. (Reducers must be procured on site)
If the increased pipe size is larger than main pipe size, then increase the main pipe
size to the same pipe size.
