•
Commercially available piping often contains dust and other materials. Always blow it clean with a dry, inert gas.
•
Prevent dust, water or other contaminants from entering the piping during installation. Contaminants can cause mechanical failure.
Selecting Field-Supplied Copper Tubing
Copper is the only approved refrigerant pipe material for use with Duct Free System Single Zone products, and LG recommends seamless
phosphorous deoxidized ACR type copper pipe, hard-drawn rigid type “K” or “L”, or annealed-tempered, copper pipe.
• Drawn temper (rigid) ACR copper tubing is available in sizes 3/8 through 2-1/8 inches (ASTM B 280, clean, dry, and capped).
• Annealed temper (soft) ACR copper tubing is available in sizes 1/4 through 2-1/8 inches (ASTM B 280, clean, dry, and capped).
Tube wall thickness should meet local code requirements and be approved for an operating pressure of 551 psi. If local code does not specify wall
thickness, LG suggests using tube thickness per table below. When bending tubing, try to keep the number of bends to a minimum, and use the
largest radii possible to reduce the equivalent length of installed pipe; also, bending radii greater than ten (10) pipe diameters can minimize pressure
drop. Be sure no traps or sags are present when rolling out soft copper tubing coils.
