If therecommended pipe size is not available, stick to the originalpipe diameter (which may result in a small capacity decrease).[Gas side]RXYSQ4+5: Ø15.9→Ø19.1RXYSQ6: Ø19.1→Ø22.2A. Piping between outdoor unit and refrigerant branch kit• Match to the size of the connection piping on the outdoor unit.Outdoor unit connection piping sizeB. Piping between refrigerant branch kits• Use the pipe size from the following table.C.
