GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Refrigerant Piping
Multi F MAX Y-Branch Kit PMBL5620
The LG supplied Y-Branch Kit PMBL5620 MUST be used when two branch distribution units are connected to one Multi F MAX system.
Field-supplied fittings are not permitted. Each Y-branch kit comes with two (2) Y-branches (one for the liquid line and one for the vapor line)
and insulation covers.
Y-branches may be installed in horizontal or vertical configurations. When installed vertically, position the Y-branch so the straight-through
leg is ±3° of plumb. When installed horizontally, position the Y-branch so the take-off leg is level and shares the same horizontal plane as the
straight-through leg ±5° rotation.
Y-branches should always be installed with the single port facing the outdoor unit and the two-port end facing the branch distribution units.
Do not install Y-branches backwards as refrigerant flow cannot make U-turns. The Y-branch kit must be located at least three (3) feet from
the outdoor unit. Provide a minimum of 20 inches between a Y-branch and the branch distribution unit.

Y-Branch Kit Insulation
Each Y-branch kit comes with clam-shell type peel-and-
stick insulation jackets molded to fit the Y-branch fittings—
one for the liquid line, one for the vapor line.
