5:  If any of the tubing length exceeds 30 m, increase the size of the tubes (liquid tube, suction tube and discharge tube) between the 
distribution tube and solenoid valve kit by 1 rank and also increase the size of the tubes (liquid tube and gas tube) between the solenoid 
valve kit and indoor unit by 1 rank.
 *
 
However, in the case of the Type 56 solenoid valve kit, it is not necessary to increase the tubes (liquid tube, suction tube and discharge 
tube) between the distribution tube and solenoid valve kit by 1 rank

*1:  If future extension is planned, select the tubing diameter based on the total horsepower after extension. 
However, extension is not possible if the resulting tubing size is two ranks higher.
*2: The balance tube (outdoor unit tube) diameter is ø6.35.
*3: The refrigerant tubing should be used with R410A refrigerant.
■ Size of Tubing (LO) Between Outdoor Units
Select the size of tubing between outdoor units based on the main tubing size (LA) as given in the table above.

*1:   The outdoor unit connection tubing (LO) 
is determined by the total capacity of the 
outdoor units connected to the tube ends. 
The tubing size is selected based on the 
table of main tube sizes after the branch.
*2:   If the total capacity of the indoor units 
connected to the tube ends is different 
from the total capacity of the outdoor 
units, then the main tube size is selected 
based on the total capacity of the outdoor 
units. (For LA, LB, and LF in particular)
