Thermal Insulation Of Refrigerant Piping - Mitsubishi Electric CITY MULTI PUHY-YSMF-B Installationshandbuch

10.8. Thermal insulation of refrigerant
piping
Be sure to give insulation work to refrigerant piping by covering liquid
pipe and gas pipe separately with enough thickness heat-resistant
polyethylene, so that no gap is observed in the joint between indoor unit
and insulating material, and insulating materials themselves. When in-
sulation work is insufficient, there is a possibility of condensation drip,
etc. Pay special attention to insulation work to ceiling plenum.
