• The insulation of the gas and liquid pipes can be in contact
with each other but they should not press excessively against
each other .
• When the gas side and liquid side pipes are contacting each
other, increase the thickness of the insulation by one grade .
• When installing the gas side and liquid side pipes, leave at
least 10mm (3/8") of space .
• When the gas side and liquid side pipes are contacting each
other, increase the thickness of the insulation by one grade .

• Install the insulation without any gaps or cracks and
use adhesive on the connection part of it to prevent
moisture from entering .
• Bind the refrigerant pipe with insulation tape if it
is exposed to outside sunlight . (When binding the
pipe with finishing tape, be careful not to reduce the
thickness of the insulation .)
• Install the refrigerant pipe respecting that the
insulation does not get thinner on the bent part or
hanger of pipe .
• When the thickness of insulation is reduced, reinforce
the reduced thickness with additional insulation .
