4.3.7 Thermal Insulation for Pipeline 
(1) For  multi  VRF  system,  every  copper  pipe  should  be  labeled  so  as  to  avoid 
misconnection. 
(2) At the branch inlet, leave at least 500mm straight pipe section. 
(3) Thermal insulation for pipeline 
1) To avoid condensate or water leakage on the connection pipe, the gas pipe and liquid 
pipe must be wrapped with thermal insulating material and adhesive tape for insulation 
from the air. 
2) Thermal insulating material shall be able bear the pipe temperature. For heat pump 
unit, liquid pipe should bear 70℃ or above and gas pipe should bear 120℃ or above. 
For cooling only unit, both liquid pipe and gas pipe should bear 70℃ or above. 
3) Example: Polyethylene foam (bear 120℃ or above); foaming polyethylene (bear 100℃ 
or above) 
4) Joints of indoor and outdoor unit should be wrapped with insulating material and leave 
no gap between pipe and wall. See Fig.18. 
 
Fig.25 
5) Thermal insulating material of branches should be the same as that of the pipeline. The 
attached foam of branches cannot be taken as insulating material. 
6) When wrapping the tape, the later circle should cover half of the former one. Don’t 
wrap the rape too tight, otherwise the insulation effect will be weakened. 
7) After wrapping the pipe, apply sealing material to completely seal the hole on the wall. 
4.3.8 Support and Protection of Pipeline 
(1) Support should be made for hanging connection pipe. Distance between each support 
cannot be over 1m. 
(2) Protection  against  accidental  damage  should  be  made  for  outdoor  pipeline.  When 
pipeline exceeds 1m, a pinch board should be added for protection.
