Selection of piping dimensions
Select refrigerant branching dimensions between outdoor units and valve box, between valve box and indoor units
according to the following connection examples 1 and 2 and Tables 1-3.
Connection example 1: Connect an indoor
unit to the downstream of the valve box
Connection example 2: with branching in the
downstream of the valve box
