The outdoor unit must be connected to the indoor coil using field supplied refrigerant
grade copper tubing that is internally clean and dry. Units should be installed only with
the tubing sizes for approved system combinations. The refrigerant charge shown in
the nameplate is for standard size interconnecting liquid line lengths up to 15 feet.
NOTE
Using a larger than specified line size could result in oil return problems. Using a
too small line will result in loss of capacity and other problems caused by insuffi-
cient refrigerant flow. Slope horizontal suction lines at least 1" every 20 feet
toward the outdoor unit to facilitate proper oil return.
