Branch Distribution to Indoor Unit Piping Connections
• Install indoor unit liquid and vapor refrigerant pipes (and connection wiring) to the appropri-
ate branch distribution ports.
• Clearly note on the indoor unit’s refrigerant piping (liquid, vapor) which branch distribution
port it is connected to (A, B, C, D).

Units -- Side View.
Connection sockets (included as
a factory-supplied accessory with
the indoor units) will need to be
used when piping the indoor units
to the branch distribution unit.
The connection sockets for 36k
indoor units are factory supplied
with the branch distribution units.
See tables above and below for
indoor unit piping connection and
connection socket dimensions.
See the following page for the
connection socket installation
procedure.
