the ceiling in a horizontal position or installed on the wall
near the fl oor in a vertical position.
Refer to the Product Specifi cation bulletin (EHB) for the
proper use of these indoor units with specifi c heat pumps,
heat recovery units, mode switching devices, branch pipes,
line sets and controls.
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
having jurisdiction before installation.

System Piping
CAUTION
VRF system piping is customized for each installation.
The LVSS piping report is an engineered design that must
be followed. The piping diagram or diagrams included
within the LVSS report have been prepared based on
the information provided to the Lennox VRF applications
department.
When the indicated lengths change from the fi gures
stated within the report, it is imperative that prior to the
commencement of the refrigerant pipe work installation,
Lennox VRF applications department are informed of
these proposed changes.
Upon receipt of this new information the Lennox VRF
applications department will confi rm any changes that
may be applicable to this installation. If changes are
required, a new piping diagram will be produced and will
supersede all other previously provided documents.
Failure to provide this information regarding changes
to the original design may lead to insuffi cient capacity,
equipment failure, warranty being made void and the
refusal to commission the system.
