5-4. Connecting Tubing between Indoor and

Outdoor Units

Tightly connect the indoor side refrigerant tubing exten-
ded from the wall with the outdoor side tubing. (Fig. 52)

To fasten the flare nuts, apply specified torque as:

Table 6

5-5. Insulation of Refrigerant Tubing

To prevent heat loss and wet floors due to dripping of con-
densation, both tubes must be well insulated with a
proper insulation material. (Fig. 53)
The thickness of the insulation should be a minimum 5/16"
(8 mm). (Fig. 54)

5-6. Taping the Tubes

(1) At this time, the 2 refrigerant tubes (and electrical wire

if local codes permit) should be taped together with
armoring tape. The drain hose may also be included
and taped together as 1 bundle with the tubing.

(2) Wrap the armoring tape from the bottom of the outdoor

unit to the top of the tubing where it enters the wall. As
you wrap the tubing, overlap half of each previous tape
turn. (Fig. 55)

(3) Clamp the tubing bundle to wall, using 1 clamp approx.

every 47" (120 cm).

Do not wind the armoring tape too tightly, since this will
decrease the heat insulation effect. Also, be sure the con-
densation drain hose splits away from the bundle and drips
clear of the unit and the tubing.

5-7. Finishing the Installation

After finishing insulating and taping over the tubing, use
sealing putty to seal off the hole in the wall to prevent rain
and draft from entering. (Fig. 56)
