IMPORTANT — Refrigerant lines must not contact structure.
REFRIGERANT LINE SET — INSTALLING
VERTICAL RUNS (NEW CONSTRUCTION SHOWN)
NOTE — Insulate liquid line when it is routed through areas where the
surrounding ambient temperature could become higher than the
temperature of the liquid line or when pressure drop is equal to or
greater than 20 psig.
IMPORTANT — Refrigerant lines must not contact wall
OUTSIDE WALL
WOOD BLOCK
BETWEEN STUDS
NOTE — Similar installation practices should be used if line set
is to be installed on exterior of outside wall.
WARNING— Polyol ester (POE) oils used
refrigerant absorb moisture very quickly. It is very important that the
refrigerant system be kept closed as much as possible. DO NOT
remove line set caps or service valve stub caps until you are ready
to make connections.
