NOTES:
The rst branch in all systems must be centrally located between all Mode Selection (MS) Boxes.
1
When counting the total piping length, double the actual length of the distribution pipes between rst Branch Pipe joint and Mode Selection Box (MS): Installation.
Total piping length = L1+(L2+L3+L4+L5+L6+L7+L8+L9+L10+L11+L12+L13)×2+a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i+j+k+l+m+n+p+q+r ≤ 3280 ft.(1000 m).
2
Each Branch Pipe or bend is equivalent to 20 in. (508 mm).
3
The maximum allowable piping length from the rst Branch Pipe joint to the farthest indoor unit must be ≤ 132 ft. (40 m), but if the following conditions are met, the
maximum allowable length can be extended to 295 ft. (90 m):
• The piping length from each indoor unit to the nearest Branch Pipe joint or direct connected Mode Selection Box (MS) must be less than 132 ft. (40m) (b to r).
• The dierence in length between the outdoor unit to the farthest indoor unit, and the outdoor unit to the nearest indoor unit is ≤ 132 ft. (40 m).
Example: The farthest indoor unit is N10, The nearest indoor unit is N11 (L1+L7+L9+L11+j+k+n) minus (L1+L7+L8+p) ≤ 132 ft. (40 m).
• Increase the distribution pipe diameter between the rst Branch Pipe and Mode Selection Box (MS) L2-L13. If the pipe diameter is the same as the main outdoor pipe,
it does not need to be increased.
Pipe Size Allowable Increase Diameters (in.):
3/8 to 1/2 1/2 to 5/8 5/8 to 3/4 3/4 to 7/8 7/8 to 1-1/8 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 1-3/8 to 1-5/8 1-5/8 to 2-1/8
4
When the outdoor unit is higher than indoor units and the level dierence is over 164 ft. (50 m), it is required to set an oil return bend every 33 ft.(10 m) in the gas pipe of
the main pipe. Refer to Installation Instructions for additional details.
5
When the outdoor unit is lower than indoor units and the level dierence is more than 132 ft.(40 m), the main liquid pipe pipe need to increase by one size.
