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 sounds may disturb customer.
2. Ensure that vapor and liquid tube diameters are appropriate
to capacity of unit.
3. Run refrigerant tubes as directly as possible by avoiding
unnecessary turns and bends.

vibration.
5. When passing refrigerant tubes through the wall, seal
opening with RTV or other pliable silicon-based caulk. (See
Fig. 2.)
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. 2.)

conform to shape of tubing insulation. (See Fig. 2.)
10. Isolate hanger straps from insulation by using metal sleeves
bent to conform to shape of insulation.
