GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Refrigerant Piping System Layout

Pipe Sleeves at Penetrations
LG requires 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
(Figure 26). Underground refrigerant pipe shall be routed inside a protective sleeve to prevent insulation deterioration. Refer to Figure 27.
Figure 26: Pipe Sleeve Options.
Diameter of penetrations shall be determined by pipe diameter plus the thickness of the insulation.
Underground Refrigerant Piping
Refrigerant pipe installed underground should be routed inside a
vapor tight protective sleeve to prevent insulation deterioration and
water infiltration. Refrigerant pipe installed inside underground
casing must be continuous without any joints. Underground
refrigerant pipe must be located at a level below the frost line.
