For example:
• When the refrigerant lines have to be fastened to floor joists or
other framing in a structure, use isolation type hangers.
• Isolation hangers should also be used when refrigerant lines
are run in stud spaces or enclosed ceilings.
• Where the refrigerant lines run through a wall or sill, they
should be insulated and isolated.
• Isolate lines from all ductwork.
• Minimize the number of 90� turns.
