(30m), increase the size of the tubes (liquid tube, suction tube and discharge tube)between the distribution tube and solenoid valve kit by 1 rank and also increase the size of the tubes (liquid tube and gas tube)between the solenoid valve kit and indoor unit by 1 rank.*However, in the case of the Type 56 solenoid valve kit, it is not necessary to increase the tubes (liquid tube, suction tube anddischarge tube) between the distribution tube and solenoid valve kit by 1 rank.7: If the size of suction tubes is ø1-5/8 in. (41.28mm), do not increase the size by 1 rank for the suction tubes.1-6.
