6.2.1 General Layout
1. Piping must be Type ACR copper tubing and sized per Tables 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Use the shortest possible refrigeration pipelines to minimize the total charge of refrigerant and
the number of pressure drops.
2. Minimize the number of bends and make the bends the largest radius practical to prevent
constricting refrigerant flow.
3. Insulate the piping as specified in Table 5. If the pipes are installed next to electrical cables, they
must be isolated from the building using vibration-isolating supports to avoid damage to cable
insulation.
4. There must be at least one inch (25mm) separation between the gas and liquid pipelines. If this is
not possible, insulate both lines.
5. Support both horizontal and vertical pipes with vibration-damping clamps, which include rubber
gaskets. Place these clamps every 5 to 7 ft. (1.5 to 2m).
NOTE
All field-installed piping must comply with applicable national, state and local codes.
