∗Note 1
When the equivalent pipe length between outdoor unit multi connection piping kit and indoor units is 90m or more, the size of main pipes (both gas-side and liquid-side) must be increased to the
following table.
Depending on the length of the piping, the capacity may drop, but even in such case it is able to increase the size of main pipes.
(Refer to figure 10.1)

2. Main pipes
3. Increase
4. The first refrigerant branch kit
