Manufacturers of VRF systems have design programs that will produce piping outlines that show the piping format among outdoor and indoor units and piping sizes for contractors to follow during installation. It is important for the contractor to follow the pipe sizing and indoor unit course of action as shown by the design program and if changes should be made, to check with the manufacturer to check whether the progressions will affect the refrigerant pipe sizing.

Similar design programs mentioned above will likewise normally produce a control wiring diagram that ought to be followed intently during installation. While not as muddled as refrigerant piping since the wiring doesn't change size from unit to unit, points of interest, for example, wire size requirements, grounding requirements, and network topology should be followed, and can shift from manufacturer to manufacturer.
