Refrigerant Line Size Information

NOTES:

Do not exceed 200 ft linear line length.
Do not exceed 100 ft vertical separation if outdoor unit is above indoor unit.
Always use the smallest liquid line allowable to minimize refrigerant charge.
Applications shaded in light gray indicate capacity multipliers between 0.90 and 0.96 which are not recommended, but are allowed.
Applications shaded in dark gray are not recommended due to excessive liquid or suction pressure drop.

NOTES:

Do not exceed 61m linear line length.
Do not exceed 30m vertical separation if outdoor unit is above indoor unit.
Always use the smallest liquid line allowable to minimize refrigerant charge.
Applications shaded in light gray indicate capacity multipliers between 0.90 and 0.96 which are not recommended, but are allowed.
Applications shaded in dark gray are not recommended due to excessive liquid or suction pressure drop.
