Between outdoor and indoor units
• Actual pipe length
Pipe length between outdoor and indoor units ≤ 330ft.
Example unit 8: a + b + c + d + e + s ≤ 330ft.
• Equivalent length
Equivalent pipe length between outdoor and indoor units ≤ 390ft.
(assume equivalent pipe length of refnet joint to be 1.6ft., that of refnet header to be 3.3ft.,
calculation purposes)
• Total extension length
Total piping length from outdoor unit* to all indoor units ≤ 950ft.
