Engineering Manual

Refrigerant Piping Insulation
Field-installed vapor and liquid refrigerant piping lines must be
properly and completely covered in insulation (up to the indoor unit
piping connections). Any exposed piping may generate condensate
or will cause burns if touched. Insulation for this field-installed refrig-
erant piping must have a minimum heat resistance of 248°F.
Duct (low static) indoor units have been tested under and meet the
requirements of the “KS Conditions.” If the indoor unit is installed
and is operated at an extended period in a highly humid environment
(dew point temperature >73°F), however, condensate will form. To
prevent this phenomenon, install adiabatic glass wool insulation with
a thickness or 13/32 to 13/16 inches thick. Also, install glass wool
insulation on all indoor unit that are located in the ceiling plenum.
Drain Piping Insulation
Drain piping must have insulation a minimum of 7/32 inches thick.
