CLEARANCES -- OUTDOOR
1.
Single Unit Applications:
With coil facing wall: Allow 6”
(152.4mm) minimum clearance on coil side and coil end and
20” (504.0 mm) minimum clearance on fan side. Allow 24”
(609.6 mm) minimum clearance on compressor end for
service.
2.
With fan facing wall:
Allow 8” (203.2 mm) minimum
clearance on fan side and coil end and 20” (504.0 mm)
minimum clearance on coil side. Allow 24” (609.6 mm)
minimum clearance on compressor end for service when units
are stacked or there is less than 40” (1016 mm) of clearance
above the unit. If there is 40” (1016 mm) clearance above unit
and the top panel is accessible for removal allow 8” (203.2
mm) minimum clearance on compressor end for service.
3.
Multi--unit Applications:
Allow 24” (609.6 mm) minimum
clearance between fan and coil sides of multiple units. Arrange
units so discharge of one does not enter inlet of another. Allow
24” (609.6 mm) minimum clearance on compressor end when
units are stacked or there is less than 40” (1016 mm) of
clearance above the unit. If there is 40” (1016 mm) clearance
above unit and the top panel is accessible for removal allow 8”
(203.2 mm) minimum clearance on compressor end for
service. When two units are installed end to end with the coil
ends facing each other allow 12” (304.8 mm) minimum
clearance between units.
IMPORTANT: When installing multiple units, ensure the
discharge air from one unit is not drawn into another unit.
When installing single or multiple units in an alcove, roof well,
or partially enclosed area, ensure there is adequate ventilation
to prevent recirculation of discharge air.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Clearances
Allow sufficient space around the indoor and outdoor unit for
proper airflow circulation and servicing. Refer to Fig.8 and the
outdoor unit clearance section for minimum required clearances.
Piping:
Piping and insulation is field supplied.
Piping Lengths
The minimum length between the indoor and outdoor units is 10 ft
(3 m). Refer to table 9 for the maximum lengths allowed.

Note
:
For lengths greater than 25 ft (7.6 m), refer to the
Residential Long
Line Guide
.
Pipe Sizes
In some models, indoor unit and/or outdoor unit pipe sizes may
differ from those in TXV connections. Coupling is required in
those cases. See table below for a complete list of tube sizes to
identify coupling needs. Refer to Table 10 for pipe sizes.
