Insulation of Refrigerant Tubing

IMPORTANT

Because capillary tubing is used in the outdoor unit, both the wide and narrow tubes of this air conditioner become cold. To prevent heat loss and wet floors due to dripping of condensation, both tubes must be well insulated with a proper insulation material. The thickness of the insulation should be a min.5/16"(8 mm).
