Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a successful installation, follow these guidelines:
- Pre-Installation: Verify that your air conditioning unit supports 1/4" and 3/8" tubing connections.
- Routing: Feed the tubing through the provided wall sleeve carefully. Ensure the lines are supported every few feet to prevent sagging over long runs.
- Connection: Use a high-quality flaring tool if you need to re-flare the ends, and always apply a small amount of refrigeration oil to the flare face before tightening the nuts.
- Sealing: Use the provided sealant putty to fill the gaps in the wall sleeve to prevent drafts, pests, or moisture from entering your structure.
- Maintenance: Periodically inspect the outdoor insulation for UV damage. If the insulation begins to degrade due to long-term sun exposure, wrap it with additional UV-resistant tape.
