1-4. Type of Copper Tube and Insulation Material

If you wish to purchase these materials separately from a local source, you will need:

1.Deoxidized annealed copper tube for refrigerant tub- ing as detailed in Table 2.

Cut each tube to the appropriate lengths 1' to 1'4" (30 cm to 40 cm) to dampen vibration between units.

Table 2

2.Foamed polyethylene insulation for the specified copper tubes as required to precise length of tubing. Wall thickness of the insulation should be not less than 5/16" (8 mm).

3.Use insulated copper wire for field wiring. Wire size varies with the total length of wiring.

Refer to 5. Wiring Instructions for details.
