  • Page 24: Selecting Copper Piping

    Always follow local codes when selecting and installing copper pipe and piping system components. Approved piping for use with LG Single Zone products will be marked “R410 RATED” along the length of the pipe. Piping wall thickness must meet local code requirements and be approved for a maximum operating pressure of 551 psi. When bending piping, try to keep the number of bends to a minimum, and use the largest radii possible to reduce the equivalent length of installed piping;...
