1.1 Precautions when connecting piping between outdoor
units (multiple outdoor unit system)
■ The 8 Hp unit type can not be used as an independent unit in
a multi system.
■ To connect the piping between outdoor units, an optional
multi connection piping kit BHFQ22P1007 is always required.
When installing the piping, follow the instructions in the
installation manual that comes with the kit.
■ Only proceed with piping work after considering the
limitations on installing listed in the RXYCQ installation
manual, always referring to the installation manual delivered
with the kit.

1.2 Possible installation patterns and configurations
■ The piping between the outdoor units must be routed level or
slightly upward to avoid the risk of oil retention into the piping
side.

■ To avoid the risk of oil retention to the outmost outdoor unit,
always connect the stop valve and the piping between
outdoor units as shown in the 4 correct possibilities of the
figure below.

■ If the piping length between the outdoor units exceeds 2 m,
create a rise of 200 mm or more in the gas line within a
length of 2 m from the kit.
