UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Do not leave system open to atmosphere any longer than
minimum required for installation. POE oil in compressor is
extremely susceptible to moisture absorption. Always keep
ends of tubing sealed during installation.
If ANY refrigerant tubing is buried, provide a 6 in. (152.4
mm) vertical rise at service valve. Refrigerant tubing
lengths up to 36 in. (914.4 mm) may be buried without
further special consideration. Do not bury lines more than
36 in. (914.4 mm).
Outdoor units may be connected to indoor section using
accessory tubing package or field-supplied refrigerant grade
tubing of correct size and condition. For tubing requirements
beyond 80 ft/24.38 m, substantial capacity and performance
losses can occur. Following the recommendations in the
Long Line Applications Guideline for Split-System Air
Conditioners and Heat Pumps will reduce these losses. Refer
to Table 1 for accessory requirements. Refer to Table 2 for
field tubing diameters.
There are no buried-line applications greater than 36 in.
