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 condensation 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 meter.
NOT E
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.
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.
