Carrier 40KMQ Installation Instructions

Mounting Unit on Wall
The units can also be mounted on the wall using the accessory
mounting kit.
Complete Outdoor Refrigerant Piping Connec-
tions
Follow the following general guidelines:
1. Use refrigerant grade field — supplied tubing.
Refer to Table 4 for the correct line sizes.
2. Do not use less than 10 ft (93.05 m) of interconnecting
tubing.
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
If any section of pipe is buried, there must be a 6 in. (152.4
mm) vertical rise to the valve connections on the outdoor
unit. If more than the recommended length is buried,
refrigerant may migrate to cooler, buried section during
extended periods of system shutdown. This causes
refrigerant slugging and could possibly damage the
compressor at start-up.
When more than 80 ft (24.4 m) of interconnecting tubing is used,
consult the Duct-Free Split System Long Line Application Guide
for required accessories.
3. Insulate both lines. A minimum of 1/2 inch foam pipe insu-
lation is recommended.
4. Run the refrigerant tubes as directly as possible and avoid
unnecessary turns and bends.
5. Suspend refrigerant tubes to avoid damage to insulation or
tubes so they do not transmit vibration to the structure.
6. When passing refrigerant tubes through the wall, seal the
opening so rain and insects do not enter the structure. Leave
some slack in refrigerant tubes between structure and out-
door unit to absorb vibration.
NOTE: A fusible plug is located in unit suction line; do not cap
this plug. If local codes require additional safety devices, install
as directed.
