Installing Outdoor Units Indoors LG Multi F / Multi F MAX outdoor units are engineered to be mounted outdoors and include technology designed to minimize the negative effects of winter weather’s freezing rain, sleet, and snow. Some building projects, however, necessitate placing the HVAC outdoor units indoors: •...
LG offers, free of charge, LG Air Conditioner Technical Solution (LATS) software—a total design solution for LG air conditioning systems. To reduce the risk of designing an improper applied system or one that will not operate correctly, LG prefers that LATS software be used on all projects.
Page 34
LATS can generate an Excel GERP report that can imported into the LG SOPS pricing and ordering system.
Always follow local codes when selecting and installing copper pipe and piping system components. Approved piping for use with LG HVAC products will be marked “R410 RATED” along the length of the pipe. Piping wall thickness must meet local code requirements and be approved for a maximum operating pressure of 551 psi. When bending piping, try to keep the number of bends to a minimum, and use the largest radii possible to reduce the equivalent length of installed piping;...
Failure to do so will cause significant performance degradation. Proper leak checks must be performed. Using isolation valves does not automatically void any LG product warranty, however, a limited warranty will be voided in whole or part must any field supplied accessory fail in any way that causes product failure.

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 promote free movement of the pipe within the sleeve.
MULTI Flaring and Brazing Procedures One of the main causes of refrigerant leaks is a defective connection. For LG HVAC systems, the installer needs to know how perform both flared and brazed connections successfully. • During installation, it is imperative to keep the piping system free of contaminants and debris such as copper burrs, slag, or carbon dust.

Selecting Field-Supplied Copper Tubing Type ACR copper is the only approved refrigerant pipe material for use with LG Multi F air conditioning products. ACR rated tubing is the only type that ships with yellow caps. Approved tubing for use with Multi F products will be marked “R410 RATED” along the length of the tube.

Field-Provided Isolation Ball Valves LG maintains a neutral position on using isolation valves in VRF refrigerant piping systems. LG does not endorse any manufacturer of isola- tion valves. It is recognized that installing isolation valves may simplify future maintenance requirements, and, if used, considerations should be taken including, but not limited to, the following: •...

Ensure all refrigerant piping is insulated. Exposed refrigerant piping will cause burns if touched. Wrap all refrigerant and condensate piping including field-provided isolation ball valves and flexible pipe connection kits provided by LG. All pipes must be insulated and each pipe must be separately wrapped. Any exposed piping will generate condensate or will cause burns if touched.

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 38).
Mark all pipes at the point where the insulation jacket ends. Remove the jacket. Install field provided insulation on the run-out and main trunk pipes first. Install the LG-provided insulation plugs on the ends of all unused header ports. Peel the adhesive glue protector slip from the insulation jacket and install the clam-shell jacket over the fitting.
