1. The precautions for use of the separately purchased branch tube (
sure to refer to them.
2. When using a T-tee branch tube (provided by installer) (only with L3 at 2 m or less), the main tubing must be either level
or vertical. The openings of each branch tube must be at a raised angle from the ground when the main tubing is level.
The openings can be set at any angle when the main tubing is vertical, but be sure to curve a portion of the connected
tubing upward. Always close weld the end point of the T-tee tubing. In addition, pay special attention to the insertion
dimensions for each connected tube so that refrigerant fl ow is not blocked at the T-tee branches. Be sure to use only
standard T-tees.
3. Do not use commercially available Y-shape joints (
installer).
Outdoor and indoor units are connected together by a pair of headers.
If the maximum tubing length exceeds 90 m (effective length), increase the size of the main tubing for both liquid
and gas by one size. Be careful when selecting tube sizes, as the wrong size may impair performance.

If anticipating future expansion, select tube diameters according to total capacity after expansion.

If the maximum tubing length exceeds 90 m (equivalent length), increase the diameter of the main tubing to the size
in ( ) for both liquid and gas tubes. However, gas tube diameter should not exceed 38.1 mm. (Reducers are available
locally.)

Select a diameter for the main tubing after a branch that is no larger than that of the header.
(In cases where the main tubing after a branch would have to be larger than the header tubing, select tubing of the
same size, and never exceed the header size.)
(*2)
If the maximum tubing length exceeds 90 m (equivalent length), increase the diameter of the main tubing after the
branch to that indicated within the parenthesis for both liquid and gas tubes. However, gas tube diameter should not
exceed 38.1 mm.
