Maximum allowable
piping length
Mini outdoor unit to
indoor units
Actual length
The distance between the mini outdoor unit and the farthest indoor unit ≤
492 ft (150 m)
Example: 8 indoor units
a+g ≤ 492 ft (150 m)
Example: 8 indoor units
a+b+c ≤ 492 ft (150 m)
Equivalent length
The distance between a mini outdoor unit and the farthest indoor unit ≤
574 ft (175 m)
(a)
Main pipe length
The main pipe (a) from the mini outdoor unit to the first Y-joint should be
less than 361 ft (110 m)
Total length The sum of the total length of pipes should be less than 984 ft (300 m)
Maximum allowable
height difference
Mini outdoor unit to
indoor units
Height
H1: Height difference between a mini outdoor unit and indoor unit < 164 ft
(50 m)
H2: Height difference between indoor units ≤ 49 ft (15 m)
Maximum allowable length after
Y-joint
Actual length
The distance between the first Y-joint
and the farthest indoor unit ≤ 131 ft
(40 m)
Example: b+c–f+g ≤ 131 ft (40 m)
The distance between the first Y-
joint and the farthest indoor unit ≤
131 ft (40 m)
Example: 8 indoor units
b+c, d+g ≤ 131 ft (40 m)
(a) If the equivalent length between a mini outdoor unit and the farthest indoor unit exceeds 295 ft (90 m), increase the main gas pipe by one size.
