GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Refrigerant Piping
Inserts and Pipe Supports
Inserts
An insert can be installed into a floor or beam before the concrete sets so that fittings such as ducts,
pipes, or suspension bolts can be added at a later time. Decide where the inserts should be placed
before support installation.

Pipe supports should never touch the pipe wall; supports should be installed outside
(around) the primary pipe insulation jacket. Insulate the pipe before installing the sup-
ports. Pipe supports are field-provided and must meet local code. If local codes do not
specify pipe support spacing, install pipe supports a maximum of 5 feet on center for
straight segments of pipe up to 3/4” outside diameter size.
Wherever the pipe changes direction, place a hanger within twelve (12) inches on one
side and within twelve to nineteen (12 to 19) inches of the bend on the other side. Sup-
port piping at indoor units as shown. Support Y-Branch fittings as shown.
Note:
The pipe system must be adequately supported to avoid pipe sagging. Sagging pipes become oil traps that
lead to equipment malfunction.
