REFRIGERANT PIPING CONNECTIONS
Connection Limitations
Single zone systems consist of one outdoor unit and one indoor unit. One of the most critical elements of a single zone system is the refrig-
erant piping. Tables 25 to 28 list pipe length limits that must be followed in the design of a Single Zone Wall Mount refrigerant pipe system.
Refer to Figure 40 for maximum length and elevation of piping.
