Installation Of Protective Layer On Connection Pipe - Vivax ACP-56COFM164GEEI User Manual

9 Installation of Protective Layer on Connection Pipe

1) The refrigerant pipes should be insulated by the insulating material and plastic tape in order
to prevent water condensation and leakage.
2) Do not use the foam on the branch pipe as the material for heat insulation.
3) The joints of the system should be wrapped with the insulating material and no gap is allowed
on the joint of the system, as shown in Fig.24.
4) Bundle the refrigerant pipe and transmission line together with tape, and separate them from
the drain pipe to prevent the condensate water overflowing.
5) Wrap the pipe from the bottom of the outdoor unit to the top of the pipe where it enters the
wall. During the wrapping, the later circle should cover half of the former one.
6) At intervals of about 1 meter, fix the refrigerant pipes to the wall with brackets, that is, don't let
the unit withstand the weight of it or float it in the air.
Caution!
♦ After the pipe is protected well enough, never bend it to form a small angle(<90°), otherwise
it would crack or break.
♦
Do not wrap the refrigerant pipes very tight, otherwise the insulation effect would be
weakened. Additionally, make sure the drain hose is separated from the refrigerant pipes.
♦
After that, cover the hole on the wall with sealing materials to prevent wind and noise going
into the room.
