• Commercially available piping often contains dust and other materials. Always blow it clean with a dry inert gas.
• Prevent dust, water or other contaminants from entering the piping during installation. Contaminants can cause mechanical failure.
LG Engineered Y-branch Kits and Header Kits
LG Y-branch and Header kits are highly engineered devices designed to evenly divide the flow of refrigerant, and are used to join one pipe
segment to two or more segments.

• If the diameter of the branch pipe segments differ from that of the designated refrigerant piping, trim to the desired section using a pipe
cutter, and then use an adapter to connect.

Install Correctly
• Y-branches can be installed upstream between the Header and the outdoor unit, but a Y-branch cannot be installed between a header
and an indoor unit.
• To avoid the potential of uneven refrigerant distribution through a header fitting, minimize the difference in equivalent pipe length be-
tween the header fitting and each connected indoor unit.
