Tubing SizeOutdoor UnitSingle typeRefrigerant tubing between the indoor and outdoor unitsshould be kept as short as possible.The length of the refrigerant tubes between the indoorand outdoor units are limited by the elevation differencebetween the 2 units. During tubing work, try to make boththe tubing length (L) and the difference in elevation (H1)as short as possible.
