Self-contained DX units, split-system evaporators and split-system condensing units are pre-charged with R-407C refrigerant. Use
Table 16 to determine charge to be added to field-fabricated refrigerant lines.
* For units with Hot Gas Reheat coil, add 18oz (0.51kg) refrigerant to listed values.

Maximum recommended total equivalent pipe length is 150 ft (46m). Suction and liquid lines may require additional specialty
items when vertical lines exceed 20 ft. (6m) and/or condensing unit installation is more than 15 ft. (4.6m) below the evaporator.
