REFRIGERANT PIPING FOR
SEPARATED OUTDOOR UNITS
Dual-frame and triple-frame systems should be installed with all outdoor units located next to each other. In conditions where the dual-frame
or triple-frame outdoor units need to be separated, the following rules must be followed:
Figure 27: Y-branch Measurement Location.1. Measurements.
All measurements should be made from the union center of the outdoor unit Y-branch.

2. Maximum pipe length from first outdoor unit Y-branch to farthest outdoor unit.
Total pipe length from the first outdoor unit Y-branch to the piping connection at the
farthest outdoor unit must not exceed thirty-three (33) feet.
3. Elevation difference between outdoor units.
The elevation difference between the highest and lowest elevation outdoor unit must
not exceed sixteen (16) feet.
