Mounting Unit on Wall
The units can also be mounted on the wall using the accessory
mounting kit.
Complete Outdoor Refrigerant Piping Connec-
tions
Follow the following general guidelines:
1. Use refrigerant grade field - supplied tubing.
Refer to Table 4 for the correct line sizes.
2. Do not use less than 10 ft (93.05 m) of interconnecting
tubing.
[]NIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
If any section of pipe is buried, there nmst be a 6 in. (152.4
ram) vertical rise to the valve connections on the outdoor
unit. If more than the recommended length is buried,
refrigerant may nfigrate to cooler, buried section during
extended periods of system shutdown. This causes
refrigerant slugging and could possibly damage the
compressor at start-up.
When more than 80 fl (24.4 m) of interconnecting tubing is used,
consult the Duct-Free Split System Long Line Application Guide
for required accessories.
3. Insulate both lines. A minimum of 1/2 inch foam pipe insu-
lation is recommended.
4. Run the refrigerant tubes as directly as possible and avoid
unnecessary turns and bends.
5. Suspend refrigerant tubes to avoid damage to insulation or
tubes so they do not transnfit vibration to the structure.
6. When passing refrigerant tubes through the wall, seal the
opening so rain and insects do not enter the structure. Leave
some slack in refrigerant tubes between structure and out-
door unit to absorb vibration.
NOTE: A fusible plug is located in unit suction line; do not cap
this plug. If local codes require additional safety devices, install
as directed.

3, Attach the complete Accurator assembly to the flare connec-
tion end of the filter drier
4, Braze the completed filter drier/Accurator assembly to the
liquid service valve.
5, Connect the field supplied line set to the filter drier/Accura-
tor assembly and the suction valve. A sweat connection is
required at the suction valve and flare connection is required
for the nfixed phase line,
6. Insulate any exposed areas between the line set and the li-
quid valve.
