• Be sure to fully insulate the piping connections.
Refrigerant Piping System Insulation
All refrigerant piping from the outdoor unit to the indoor units must be insulated correctly for safety and usage. Y-branch connections, Head-
ers, refrigerant piping, field-provided isolation ball valves (if present), service valves, and elbows must be properly and completely insulated
using closed cell pipe insulation (up to the indoor unit piping connections). To prevent heat loss / heat gain through the refrigerant piping, all

Inside the outdoor unit, maximum pipe temperature is 248°F and minimum pipe temperature is -40°F. For field insulation of refrigerant piping
between outdoor units and indoor units, consider the following pipe temperature ranges for an operating heat pump system:
• Heating mode refrigerant temperature ranges: Liquid 75-118°F; High Pressure Vapor 95-220°F
• Cooling mode refrigerant temperature ranges: Liquid 75-118°F; Low Pressure Vapor 40-90°F
