4.4 Selecting Piping Diameters 
Tables 3-4.4 to 3-4.8, below, specify the required pipe diameters for the indoor and outdoor piping. The main pipe (L
1
) and 
first indoor branch joint (A) should be sized according to whichever of Tables 3-4.4 and 3-4.5 indicates the larger size.   
 
Figure 3-4.3: Selecting piping diameters 
 
 
Figures in parentheses indicate 
indoor unit capacity indexes.

Total capacity indexes of indoor units 
168 ≤ Capacity indexes < 224 
224 ≤ Capacity indexes < 330 
330 ≤ Capacity indexes < 470 
470 ≤ Capacity indexes < 710 
710 ≤ Capacity indexes < 1040 
1040 ≤ Capacity indexes < 1540 
1540 ≤ Capacity indexes < 1800 
1800 ≤ Capacity indexes < 2450 
2450 ≤ Capacity indexes < 2690 
Notes: 
1.  The main pipe (L
1
) and first indoor branch joint (A) should be sized according to whichever of   
Tables 3-4.4 and 3-4.5 indicates the larger size.
