line tubing should be fully insulated.
Field Connections for Electrical Power
Supply —
All wiring must comply with current
provisions of the “National Electrical Code”
(ANSI/NFPA 70) and with applicable local
codes having jurisdiction. The minimum size of
electrical conductors and circuit protection must
be in compliance with information listed on the
outdoor unit data label.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Pressures within the System —
