Field splitting instructions — If components are split,
maximum length of refrigerant tubing to be used is 50 ft,
assuming components are installed in same horizontal
plane. Condenser may be mounted up to 12 ft above evap-
orator. Liquid line tubing is

-in. OD copper tubing, and
discharge line is
1
/
2
-in. OD copper tubing. For additional
piping information, refer to Carrier System Design Man-
