Outdoor Unit CM2472

Insulation of Refrigerant Tubing

Because capillary tubing is used in the outdoor unit, both the

wide and narrow tubes of this air conditioner become cold. To

prevent heat loss and wet floors due to dripping of

condensation, both tubes must be well insulated with a

proper insulation material. The thickness of the insulation

should be a min.5/16"(8 mm).

After a tube has been insulated,

never try to bend it into a narrow

curve because it can cause the tube

to break or crack.
