Avoid Pipe Damage
•
When routing field-provided piping, avoid damaging the outdoor unit from excessive vibration.
•
Correctly route the piping so it does not make contact with mounting bolts. Allow room for field installation.
• Properly insulate the liquid and gas lines separately up to the point of connection at the unit frame.
• See table below for Multi F outdoor unit connection types.
