Thermal insulation of refrigerant pipe

Be sure to give insulation work to refrigerant pipe 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 insula-
tion work is insufficient, there is a possibility of condensation drip, etc. Pay special attention to
insulation work to ceiling plenum.
