Requirement:
The largest level difference between
indoor unit and outdoor unit should not exceed 30m (if
the outdoor unit is above) or 20m (if the outdoor unit is
below). Additionally: If the outdoor unit is above and the
level difference is greater than 20m, it is recommended
that an oil return bend with dimensions as specified in
Figure 4.12 is set every 10m in the gas pipe of the main
pipe.

4.3.3 Piping diameter
1) Select the diameter of the main piping
▪ The main pipe (L1) and first indoor branch joint (A)
should be sized according to the Table 4.5 and Table
4.6.

If the size of the branch joint pipe selected according to
the above table is larger than that of the main pipe
according to Table 4.5 or 4.6, the size of the branch joint
pipe should be reduced to make it the same as the main
pipe.
The pipe thickness of the refrigerant piping shall
comply with the applicable legislation.
The minimal pipe thickness for R410A piping must be
in accordance with the table below.

Material: Only seamless phosphorus-deoxidized
copper piping that complies with all applicable
legislation should be used.
Thicknesses: Temper grades and minimum
thicknesses for different diameters of piping should
comply with local regulations.
Design pressure of R410 refrigerant is 4.2MPa
(42bar).
