INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
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 sound may disturb customer.
2. In noise sensitive applications (such as bedrooms), when a
lineset is mounted to ceiling joists or floor joists, the out-
door unit must be located at least 10 ft (3.05 m) away. If
this is not possible, create a line set configuration with
enough bends to provide 10 ft (3.05 m) of total line set
length outside the dwelling
3. Ensure that vapor and liquid tube diameters are appropriate
for unit capacity.
4. Run refrigerant tubes as directly as possible by avoiding un-
necessary turns and bends.
5. Leave some slack between structure and unit to absorb vi-
bration.
6. When passing refrigerant tubes through the wall, seal open-
ing with RTV or other pliable silicon--based caulk (see Fig.
1).
7. Avoid direct tubing contact with water pipes, duct work,
floor joists, wall studs, floors, and walls.
