Section 6. Refrigerant Line Routing

Precautions
Important: Take precautions to prevent noise within the building structure due to vibration transmission from the refrigerant lines.

Comply with National, State, and Local Codes when isolating line sets from joists, rafters, walls, or other structural elements.

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.
  Secure Suction line from joists using isolators every 8 ft. Secure Liquid Line directly to Suction line using tape, wire, or other appropriate method every 8 ft.
  Isolation From Joist/Rafter
  Secure Suction Line using isolators every 8 ft. Secure Liquid Line directly to Suction Line using tape, wire, or other appropriate method every 8 ft.
  Isolation In Wall Spaces
