REFRIGERANT LINES
General Refrigerant Line Sizing
1. The outdoor units are shipped with a full charge of R410A
refrigerant. All charges, line sizing, and capacities are based on
runs of 25ft. (7.6 m). For runs over 25 ft. (7.6 m), consult the
long−line applications section for the proper charge adjustments.
2. The minimum refrigerant line length between the indoor and
outdoor units is 10 ft. (3 m).
3. Refrigerant lines should not be buried in the ground. If it is
necessary to bury the lines, not more than 36 in (914 mm)
should be buried. Provide a minimum 6in (152 mm) vertical rise
to the service valves to prevent refrigerant migration.
4. Both lines must be insulated. Use a minimum of 1/2in. (12.7
mm) thick insulation. Closed−cell insulation is recommended in
all long−line applications.
5. Special consideration should be given to isolating
interconnecting tubing from the building structure. Isolate the
the tubing so vibration or noise is not transmitted into the
structure.
IMPORTANT:
Both refrigerant lines must be insulated separately.
Table 7 lists the maximum lengths allowed.
