Section 6. Refrigerant Line Routing
6.1 Precautions
Important:
Take precautions to prevent noise
within the building structure due to vibration
transmission from the refrigerant lines.
For Example:
• When the refrigerant lines have to be fastened to floor joists or other framing in a structure, use isolation type
hangers.
• Isolation hangers should also be used when refrigerant lines are run in stud spaces or enclosed ceilings.
• Where the refrigerant lines run through a wall or sill, they should be insulated and isolated.
• Isolate the lines from all ductwork. • Minimize the number of 90º turns.
Comply with National, State, and Local Codes when
isolating line sets from joists, rafters, walls, or other
structural elements.
