L
A
<L
B
<L
C
< 10m.
Align the outdoor unit from large capacity as A > B > C and outdoor Unit “A” should be located at the indoor
unit side.
(2) Place the manifold pipe lower than the outdoor unit piping connection.
In case that the manifold pipe is placed higher than the outdoor unit piping connection, keep 300mm
(max.) between the manifold pipe and the bottom of the outdoor unit. Also, provide the oil trap (min.
200mm) between the manifold pipe and the outdoor unit.
