Avoid Pipe Damage
• When routing field-provided piping, avoid damaging the outdoor unit from
excessive vibration.
• Correctly route the piping so it does not make contact with mounting bolts.
Allow room for field installation.
• Properly insulate the liquid and gas lines separately up to the point of con-
nection at the unit frame.
• See table below for Multi F outdoor unit connection types.
