Thermal Insulation Of Refrigerant Piping - LG ZRUM080LTS6 Installation Manual

Thermal insulation of refrigerant piping

Be sure to give insulation work to refrigerant piping by covering liquid
pipe and gas pipe separately with enough thickness heat-resistant
polyethylene, so that no gap is observed in the joint between indoor
unit and insulating material, and insulating materials themselves. When
insulation work is insufficient, there is a possibility of condensation
drip, etc. Pay special attention to insulation work to ceiling plenum.

NOTE
!
When using polyethylene cover as covering material, asphalt

When filling a gap with mortar, cover the penetration part with steel
plate so that the insulation material will not be caved in. For this part,
use incombustible materials for both insulation and covering. (Vinyl
covering should not be used.)
