9,600-24,200 Btu/h 4-way 3 feet x 3 feet Cassette and 15,400-24,200 Btu/h High Static Ducted indoor units have Ø3/8 (liquid) and Ø5/8 (vapor).
The following is an example of manual pipe size calculations. Designers are highly encouraged to use LATS instead of manual calculations.

• Indoor units should be installed at a lower  
position than the Header.
• Y-branch pipes cannot be used after  
Headers.
• Install the Header so that the pipe dis-
tances between the between the con-
nected indoor units are minimized. Large  
differences in pipe distances can cause in-
door unit performances to fluctuate. 
• Always reference the LATS Multi V software 
report.
