Notes:
1) Do not exceed 150 ft li near line length.
2) Do not exceed 50 ft vertical separation between indoor and outdoor units.
3) * 3/4" vapor line should only be used for 2 ton systems if outdoor unit is bel ow or at same level as indoor
uni t to assure proper oil return.
4) ** 1-1/8" vapor li ne should onl y be used for 5 ton systems if outdoor unit is below or at same level as indoor
unit to assure proper oil return.
5) Always use the smallest liquid line allowable to minimize refrigerant charge.
6) Applications shaded in light gray indicate capacity multipliers between 0.90 and 0.96 which are not
recommended, but are allowed.
7) Applications shaded in dark gray are not recommended due to excessive liquid or suction pressure drop.
