*9. When the piping length or the vertical separation exceeds the limit specified in Fig. 2, connect
a sub BC to the system.
The restriction for a system with a sub BC connection is shown in Fig. 3.
SUB
When a given system configuration falls within the shaded area in Fig. 3, increase the size of
BC
the high-pressure pipe and the liquid pipe between the main BC and sub BC by one size.
The maximum liquid branch pipe diameter is ø19.05. If a given system already has a ø19.05-pipe
between the main BC and sub BC, there is no need to increase the pipe size.
When using P12, P15, P18, P36, or P48 model of indoor units, increase the size of the liquid
Fig. 2
branch pipe between the sub BC and indoor unit by one size.
When using indoor models P54 or larger, the restrictions shown in Fig. 2 cannot be exceeded.
