8.3. Selection of branch pipe
8.4. Allowable pipe length and height difference
See the table below concerning lengths and heights. Refer to figures
2, 3, 4 and 5. Assume that the longest line in the figure corresponds
with the actual longest pipe, and the highest unit in the figure
corresponds with the actual highest unit.

Existing or pre-installed piping can be used
1. Piping must comply with the criter
ia below.
• Pipe diameter must comply with the limit
ations as indicated in
paragraph "8.2. Refrigerant pipe size" on page 7.
• Piping length must be within limit
s of the allowable piping
length as in paragraph "8.4. Allowable pipe length and height
difference" on page 8.
• Piping must be designed for R410A. See paragraph
"8.1. Selection of piping material" on page 7.
2. Piping can be r
eused without cleaning when:
• Total 1-way piping length: <50 m.
• No compressor breakdown has occurred in the history of the
unit to be re
placed.
• A correct pump down operation can be executed:
- Operate the unit continuously for 30 minutes in cooling
mode.
- Execute a pump down operation.
- Remove the air conditioning units to be replaced.
• Check the contamination insid
e the existing piping.
If you cannot meet all these requir
ements, the existing pipes
must be cleaned or replaced after removing the air conditioning
units to be replaced.
3. Prep
are the flare connections for higher pressure. See
paragraph "10.3. Cautions for necessity of a trap" on page 12.
