<A> When the piping (from the twinning pipe) exceeds 2 m [6 ft], include a trap (gas pipe only) within 2 m [6 ft]. Make sure the height of the trap is 200 mm [7-7/8 in] or more.
If there is no trap, oil can accumulate inside the pipe, causing a shortage of oil damaging the compressor.

<A> Install the piping so that oil will not accumulate in the stopped heat source unit. (both the liquid and the gas side for PQHY-P series,
the high-pressure side only for PQRY-P series)

The NG example shows that oil accumulates because the units are installed on a reverse gradient while unit 1 is in operation, and unit 2 is stopped.

The NG example shows that oil accumulates into unit 1 while unit 2 is in operation, and unit 1 is stopped. Vertical pipe height (h) should be 0.2 m (7-7/8 in) or below.
