Refrigerant Piping
This section contains information on selecting, storing, and connecting refrigerant piping.
Selecting Refrigerant Piping
Refrigerant piping diameter, thickness, and temper is selected according to length, as specified in
this section.
Notes:
• Use insulated, unwelded, degreased, and deoxidized copper pipe (Cu-DHP type according
to ISO 1337 or UNI EN 12735-1) suitable for an operating pressure of at least 609.15 psi
(4200 kPa) and a burst pressure of at least 3002.28 psi (20,700 kPa). Copper pipe for hydro-
sanitary applications is unsuitable.
• If there is a risk of decreased performance caused by pipe length, use piping that is one
size larger than that specified in this section.
Pipe Diameter
Table 3 specifies the diameter of the main pipe based on unit capacity.
Table 4 specifies the pipe size between branch joints.

(a) Increase the gas pipe from the outdoor unit to the first branch joint by one size if the pipe length between the outdoor
unit and the farthest indoor unit, including the elbow, exceeds 295 ft (90 m); or if the outdoor unit capacity declines due to
pipe length.
