Thermostat Designations
(Some connections may not apply. Refer to
specific thermostat and indoor unit.)
Without Auxiliary Heat
Field refrigerant piping consists of liquid and suction lines from the outdoor unit (sweat connections) to the indoor coil (flare or sweat connections).
Select line set diameters from Table 2 to ensure that oil returns to the compressor. Size vertical suction riser to maintain minimum velocity at minimum capacity. Recommended line length is 50’ or less. If more than 50’ line set is required, contact Technical Services.
Table 2 shows the diameters for line sets up to 100’ although vertical lift applications and trapping requirements need to be reviewed with Technical Services for line sets over 50’.
