INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
NOTE: In some cases noise in the living area has been
traced to gas pulsations from improper installation of
equipment.
1. Locate unit away from windows, patios, decks, etc.
where unit operation sound may disturb customer.
2. Ensure that vapor and liquid tube diameters are
appropriate for unit capacity.
3. Run refrigerant tubes as directly as possible by
avoiding unnecessary turns and bends.
4. Leave some slack between structure and unit to
absorb vibration.
5. When passing refrigerant tubes through the wall, seal
opening with RTV or other pliable silicon- based caulk.
(See Fig. 1.)
6. Avoid direct tubing contact with water pipes, duct work,
floor joists, wall studs, floors, and walls.
7. Do not suspend refrigerant tubing from joists and studs
with a rigid wire or strap which comes in direct contact
with tubing.(See Fig. 1.)
8. Ensure that tubing insulation is pliable and completely
surrounds vapor tube.
9. When necessary, use hanger straps which are 1 in.
(25.4 mm) wide and conform to shape of tubing
insulation. (See Fig. 1.)
10. Isolate hanger straps from insulation by using metal
sleeves bent to conform to shape of insulation.

alteration,
service,
When outdoor unit is connected to factory- approved indoor
unit, outdoor unit contains system refrigerant charge for
operation with AHRI rated indoor unit when connected by 15
ft. (4.57 m) of field- supplied or factory accessory tubing. For
proper unit operation, check refrigerant charge using
charging information located on control box cover and/or in
the Check Charge section of this instruction.
IMPORTANT: Maximum liquid- line size is 3/8- in. OD for all
residential applications including long line.
IMPORTANT: Always install the factory- supplied liquid- line
filter drier. Obtain replacement filter driers from your
distributor or branch.
Check Equipment and Job Site
Unpack Unit
Move to final location. Remove carton taking care not to
damage unit.
Inspect Equipment
File claim with shipping company prior to installation if
shipment is damaged or incomplete. Locate unit rating plate
on unit corner panel. It contains information needed to
properly install unit. Check rating plate to be sure unit
matches job specifications.
Install on a Solid, Level Mounting Pad
If conditions or local codes require the unit be attached to
pad, tie down bolts should be used and fastened through
knockouts provided in unit base pan. Refer to unit mounting
pattern in Fig. 2 to determine base pan size and knockout
hole location.
For hurricane tie downs - contact your local distributor for
details and PE (Professional Certification), if required by local
authorities.
On rooftop applications, mount on level platform or frame.
Place unit above a load- bearing wall and isolate unit and
tubing set from structure. Arrange supporting members to
adequately support unit and minimize transmission of
vibration to building. Consult local codes governing rooftop
applications.
