Pipe Sleeves at Penetrations
LG recommends that all pipe penetrations through walls, floors, and pipes buried underground be properly insulated and routed through an
appropriate wall sleeve of sufficient size to prevent compression of refrigerant pipe insulation and free movement of the pipe within the
sleeve. Use 4"+ curved sheet metal saddles between the bottom surface of the pipe and the bottom surface of the penetration.
Figure 35: Pipe Sleeve Options.
Diameter of penetrations must be determined by pipe diameter plus the thickness of the
insulation.
Underground Refrigerant Piping
Refrigerant pipe installed underground must be routed inside a vapor tight protective
sleeve to prevent insulation deterioration and water infiltration. Refrigerant pipe in-
stalled inside underground casing must be continuous without any joints. Underground
refrigerant pipe must be located at a level below the frost line.

Provide expansion joints in long pipe segments and place in an accessi-
ble conduit box for inspection. Use galvanized curved sheet metal sad-
dles at all mounting points. Pipe must be allowed to move freely linearly.
