4. Taping the Tubes
(1) At this time, the refrigerant tubes (and electrical wiring
if local codes permit) should be taped together with
armoring tape in 1 bundle. To prevent condensation
from overflowing the drain pan, keep the drain hose
separate from the refrigerant tubing.
(2) Wrap the armoring tape from the bottom of the
outdoor unit to the top of the tubing where it enters
the wall. As you wrap the tubing, overlap half of each
previous tape turn.
(3) Clamp the tubing bundle to the wall, using 1 clamp
approx. each meter. (Fig. 1- 60)
Fig.1- 60
Do not wind the armoring tape too tightly since this will decrease the heat insulation effect. Also ensure that the
condensation drain hose splits away from the bundle and drips clear of the unit and the tubing.
5. Finishing the Installation
After finishing insulating and taping over the tubing,
use sealing putty to seal off the hole in the wall to prevent
rain and draft from entering. (Fig. 1- 61)
