Refrigerant branch kits can only be
used with R410A.
How to select the REFNET joint
• When using REFNET joint at the first branch counted from the outdoor unit side.
Choose from the following table in accordance with the outdoor unit capacity type.
(Example: REFNET joint A)
Q140·180 type
Q280 type
Q360~540 type
KHRP26A22T
KHRP26A33T
KHRP26A72T
• Choose the REFNET joints other than that for the first branch from the following table in accordance with the total
capacity index of all the indoor units connected below the REFNET joint.
How to select the REFNET header
• Choose from the following table in accordance with the total capacity index of all the indoor units connected
below the REFNET header.
• Note: 250 type indoor unit cannot be connected below the REFNET header.
