Avoid direct tubing contact with water pipes, duct work, floor joists, wall studs, floors, and walls. –1– Fig. 1–Model 598A 7. Do not suspend refrigerant tubing from joists and studs with a rigid wire or strap which comes in direct contact with tubing. (See Fig. 2.) 8. Ensure that tubing insulation is pliable and completely surrounds vapor tube. 9. When necessary, use hanger straps which are 1 in. wide and conform to shape of tubing insulation. (See Fig. 2.) 10. Isolate hanger straps from insulation by using metal sleeves bent to conform to shape of insulation.
