INSTALLATION
Height Difference Between Indoor Units and Distributor
Install all indoor units at the same height. When the
height difference between the indoor units due to
building construction is necessary, this should be less
than 3 meters. Install the branch pipe at the same
height of indoor units or lower, but never higher.
Sample: Twin system
