Installation Tips for the 20 ft Mini Split Line Set

Confirm Pipe Size Before Installation

Verify that the HVAC equipment requires a 1/4" liquid line and 1/2" suction line. The correct refrigerant piping dimensions should always come from the equipment manufacturer's installation manual.

Measure the Required Refrigerant Run

Measure the complete routing distance between the indoor and outdoor units before installation and allow for bends and final connection requirements.

Use Correct Flare-Nut Torque

Flare fittings should be tightened according to the HVAC manufacturer's specified torque. Under-tightening can cause leakage, while excessive torque can damage the flare or connection.

Protect the Insulation

Avoid crushing, tearing, or excessively compressing the insulation. Wall sleeves and protective line-set covers can help protect refrigerant piping at penetrations and exposed outdoor locations.

Maintain Proper Condensate Drain Slope

The condensate drain hose should be installed with the correct downward slope and routing according to the indoor unit manufacturer's instructions so that condensate can drain correctly.

Pressure Test and Evacuate the System

After refrigerant piping installation, follow the HVAC manufacturer's procedures for pressure testing, leak checking, vacuum evacuation, valve opening, refrigerant adjustment if required, and system commissioning.
