OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
CONFIGURATION OF CONNECTION PIPE
• Standard length of connection pipe: 25 ft. (7.5 m).
• Minimum length of connection pipe: 10 ft. (3 m).
• Maximum length of connection pipe and maximum height difference:

Additional refrigerant liquid and refrigerant charge required after extending connection pipes
• The calculation method of additional refrigerant charge (on the basis of liquid pipe) is:
Additional refrigerant charge (oz) = extended length of liquid pipe (ft.) x 0.2
• Based on the length of standard pipe and depending on pipe diameter, add refrigerant as per
following chart.
