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
PIPE
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
