Line Set Isolation

The following illustrations demonstrate procedures which ensure 
proper refrigerant line set isolation. 

Installing Horizontal Runs

This shows how to install line sets on horizontal runs.

NOTES: 

To hang line set from joist or rafter, use either metal strapping 
material or anchored heavy nylon wire ties.

Strap the vapor line to the floor joist or roof rafter at 8 ft 
(2.4 m) intervals, then strap the liquid line to the vapor line.

Transition from Horizontal to Vertical

This shows how to make a transition from horizontal to vertical.

Installing Vertical Runs (new construction shown)

This shows how to install line sets on vertical runs.

NOTE: Similar installation practices should be used if line set is 
to be installed on exterior of outside wall.

IMPORTANT: Refrigerant lines must not contact structure.
