Placement −
Be aware some localities are adopting
sound ordinances based on how noisy the unit is from
the adjacent property not at the original installation.
Install the unit as far as possible from the property line.
When possible, do not install the unit directly outside a
window. Glass has a very high level of sound transmis-
sion.

The following illustrations demon-
strate procedures which ensure proper refrigerant line
set isolation. Figure 8 shows how to install line sets on
vertical runs. Figure 9 shows how to install line sets on
horizontal runs. Figure 10 shows how to make a transi-
tion from horizontal to vertical. Finally, figure 11 shows
how to place the outdoor unit and line set.
