Using Refrigerant Components
Field-supplied elbows are allowed as long as they are designed for
use with R410A refrigerant. The designer, however, must be cau-
tious with the quantity and size of fittings used, and must account
for the additional pressure losses in equivalent pipe length calcula-
tion for each branch. The equivalent pipe length of each elbow must
be added to each pipe segment.

Distribution Units.
