Refrigerant Piping Connections; Refrigerant Piping System Layout - LG LA090HVP Installation Manual

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
(Table 16). Underground refrigerant pipe shall be routed inside a protective sleeve to prevent insulation deterioration. Refer to Figure 22.

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.

When filling an access hole with mortar, cover the
area with steel plate so that the insulation will not
fall through. For this area, use fire-resistant
materials for both the insulation and cover. (Vinyl
cover should not be used.)
