UNIT LOCATION & INSTALLATION
NOTE:
In some cases noise in the living area has been
traced to gas pulsations from improper installation
of equipment.
1. Locate unit away form 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.
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 silicon-based caulk.
6. Avoid direct tubing contact with water pipes, duct work,
floor joists, wall studs, floors, walls, and any structure.
7. Do not suspend refrigerant tubing from joists and studs
with a rigid wire or strap which comes in direct contact
with tubing.
8. Ensure that tubing insulation is pliable and completely
surrounds vapor tube.
When outdoor unit is connected to factory-approved
indoor unit, outdoor unit contains system refrigerant charge
for operation with indoor unit of the same size when
connected by 15 ft. of field-supplied tubing. For proper unit
operation, check refrigerant charge using charging
information located on control box cover.
IMPORTANT:
Maximum liquid-line size is 3/8 in. O.D. for
all residential applications including long
lines.
Outdoor Section
Zoning ordinances may govern the minimum distance
the condensing unit can be installed from the property line.
Install on a Solid, Level Mounting Pad
The outdoor section is to be installed on a solid
foundation. This foundation should extend a minimum of
2" (inches) beyond the sides of the outdoor section. To
reduce the possibility of noise transmission, the foundation
slab should NOT be in contact with or be an integral part of
the building foundation.
This product and/or the indoor unit it is matched
with may contain fiberglass wool.
Disturbing the insulation during installation,
maintenance, or repair will expose you to
fiberglass wool dust. Breathing this may cause
lung cancer. (Fiberglass wool is known to the
State of California to cause cancer.)
Fiberglass wool may also cause respiratory,
skin, and eye irritation.
To reduce exposure to this substance or for
further information, consult material safety data
sheets available from your distributor.
