  • Page 5 PARTS LIST (CONT) ■ Outdoor A150766 Fig. 1 - Parts List NOTE: − If the outdoor unit is higher than the indoor unit, prevent rain from flowing into the indoor unit along the connection pipe by making a downward arc in the connection pipe before it enters the wall to the indoor unit. This ensures that rain drips from the connection pipe before it enters the wall.
  • Page 6: System Requirements

    SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Allow sufficient space for airflow and unit servicing. See Fig. 22 through 26 for the minimum required clearances. Piping IMPORTANT: Both refrigerant lines must be insulated separately. The minimum refrigerant line length between the indoor and outdoor units is 10 ft. (3m). See Table 11 for the maximum lengths.

  • Page 7: Conversion Joints

    CONVERSION JOINTS Some outdoor and indoor units include a package of conversion joints to facilitate the installation line sets as listed on the Parts List. These conversion joints are to be connected to the outdoor unit or the indoor unit side as needed to match the line set size listed in Tables 18 and 19 on the refrigerant piping section. REFRIGERANT PIPING Line sets should be sized based on Tables 18 and 19.
