REFRIGERANT PIPING CONNECTIONS
Installation Overview
Figure 31: Installation and Piping Connection Overview (Appearances Will Vary 
Depending on Model).
Installation
Single Zone Wall-Mounted systems are one-to-one 
systems. There is a direct piping connection between the 
outdoor unit and the indoor unit. The figure at right illus-
trates the basic pipe connections between the outdoor 
and indoor unit. Refer to the illustration when proceeding 
with pipe connections. 
This illustration shows the indoor unit being installed at 
a higher position than the outdoor unit. However, if the 
outdoor unit be installed at a higher position than the 
indoor unit, the basic pipe connections are the same.
Refer back to the tables within the “Connection Limita-
tions” section for specific length limitations in conjunction 
with outdoor unit and indoor unit positioning.
• When proceeding with piping connections, adhere to 
pipe support spacing lengths as shown in the “General 
Refrigerant Piping System” Information section. Refer 
to the “Pipe Supports” section for information on using 
clamps and pipe support materials.
• Always adhere to local codes regarding piping and ac-
curate support spacing along the piping system.
• Always include insulation on all refrigerant and drain 
piping to ensure condensate does not form and cause 
damage to walls, floors, etc.
Bend the piping as closely 
to the wall as possible, but     do not break it.
