Note on Pipe Length
The length of refrigerant piping will affect the performance and energy efficiency of the unit. Nominal
efficiency is tested on units with a pipe length of 5 meters (16.5ft),
in North America, the standard pipe
length is 7.5m (25’).
A minimum pipe run of 3 meters is required to minimise vibration & excessive noise.
Refer to the table below for specifications on the maximum length and drop height of piping.

Refrigerant Piping
Step 1: Cut pipes
When preparing refrigerant pipes, take extra care to cut and flare them properly. This will ensure
efficient operation and minimize the need for future maintenance.
1. Measure the distance between the indoor and outdoor units.
