Installation

Unit Location

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.

unecessary 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, 

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 suction line.

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 

check  refrigerant  charge  using  charging  information 

located on control box cover.

NOTE: Maximum  liquid-line  size  is  3/8  in.  O.D.  for  all 

residental 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.

If conditions or local codes require the unit be attached to 

pad or mounting frame, tie down bolts should be used and 

fastened through knockouts provided in unit base pan.

Rooftop Installations

Mount  on  level  platform  or  frame  6  inches  above  roof 

surface. Place unit above a load-bearing wall and isolate 

unit  and  tubing  set  from  structure.  Arrange  supporting 

members  to  adequately  support  unit  and  minimize 

transmission of vibration to building. Ensure roof structure 

and  anchoring  method  is  adequate  for  location.  Consult 

local codes governing rooftop applications.

NOTE: Unit  must  be  level  to  within  ±  1/4  in./ft  per 

Clearance Requirements

snow, or ice from roof or eaves cannot fall directly on unit.
