transmission between the tubing and the foundation or
wall.
Along floor or ceiling joists, suspend refrigerant lines so
that they do not contact the building structure, water
pipes, or ductwork. Use insulated or suspension type
hangers. Metal straps must be at least 1” wide to avoid
cutting into the tube insulation. Keep the liquid and
suction lines separate. Refer to Figure 4.

CAUTION
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in improp‐
er product operation.
Do not bury more than 36” of line set underground.
Refrigerant may migrate to cooler buried section
during extended periods of unit shut-down, caus‐
ing refrigerant slugging and possible compressor
damage at start-up.
If ANY section of the line set is buried under‐
ground, provide a minimum 6” vertical rise at the
service valve.
D. OUTDOOR UNIT HIGHER THAN INDOOR UNIT
Proper oil return to the compressor should be maintained
with suction gas velocity. If velocities drop below 1500
fpm (feet per minute), oil return will be decreased. To
maintain suction gas velocity, do not upsize vertical
suction risers.
NOTE:
If there is more than 20 feet vertical separation
between outdoor and indoor units, refer to the Long Line
Application Guidline document for additional instructions.
E. LIQUID LINE FILTER-DRIER
Outdoor units are shipped with an appropriate filter-drier
for installation in the liquid line. Leave the plugs in the tube
ends until the filter-drier is installed. The optimal location
for the filter-drier is close to the indoor coil. Heat pump
filter-driers are “bi-flow” type. Either end can be pointed
towards indoor coil. Refer to Figure 5.
