If Then
The equivalent pipe
length between the
heat exchanger unit
and the furthest indoor
unit is 90m or more
5HP It is recommended to increase the size (size-up)
of the main gas pipe (between compressor unit
and first refrigerant branch kit). If the
recommended gas pipe (size-up) is not available,
you must use the standard size (which might
result in a small capacity decrease).
8HP ▪ You must increase the size (size-up) of the
main liquid pipe (between compressor unit
and first refrigerant branch kit).
▪ It is recommended to increase the size (size-
up) of the main gas pipe (between
compressor unit and first refrigerant branch
kit). If the recommended gas pipe (size-up) is
not available, you must use the standard size
(which might result in a small capacity
decrease).
C: Piping between refrigerant branch kits
Use the following diameters:

<150 15.9 9.5
150≤x<200 19.1
200≤x<260 22.2
D: Piping between refrigerant branch kit and indoor unit
Use the same diameters as the connections (liquid, gas) on the indoor units. The
diameters of the indoor units are as follows:
