5-4. Taping the Tubes
(1) At this time, the refrigerant tubes (and electrical wiring
if local codes permit) should be taped together with
armoring tape in 1 bundle. To prevent the condensa-
tion from overflowing the drain pan, keep the drain
hose separate from the refrigerant tubing.
(2) Wrap the armoring tape from the bottom of the outdoor
unit to the top of the tubing where it enters the wall. As
you wrap the tubing, overlap half of each previous tape
turn.
(3) Clamp the tubing bundle to the wall, using 1 clamp
approx. each ft. (Fig. 5-10)
NOTE
Do not wind the armoring tape too tightly since this will
decrease the heat insulation effect. Also ensure that the
condensation drain hose splits away from the bundle and
drips clear of the unit and the tubing.
5-5. Finishing the Installation
After finishing insulating and taping over the tubing, use
sealing putty to seal off the hole in the wall to prevent rain
and draft from entering. (Fig. 5-11)
