*Requires a double suction riser if 2 unloaders are used and the
evaporator is below the condensing unit. See Table 4B and Fig. 4
for more information.
NOTES:
1. Pipe sizes are based on a 2 F (1.1 C) loss for liquid lines and a
1.5 F (0.8 C) loss for suction lines.
2. Pipe sizes are based on an equivalent length equal to the maxi-
mum length of interconnecting piping plus 50% for fittings. A more
accurate estimate may result in smaller sizes.

*Requires a double suction riser if 2 unloaders are used and the evapo-
rator is below the condensing unit. See Table 5B and Fig. 4 for more
information.
NOTES:
1. Pipe sizes are based on 2 F (1.1 C) max loss for liquid lines and
1.5 F (0.8 C) max loss for suction lines, selected at maximum length
for each interval and for matched systems at nominal rating con-
ditions, nominal airflow.
2. Pipe sizes are based on an equivalent length equal to the maxi-
mum length of interconnecting piping plus 50% for fittings. A more
accurate estimate may result in smaller sizes.
3. See Table 4A for line size conversion to mm.
