9-7. Thermal insulation for pipes

Insulate pipes to prevent condensation.
- Condensation may collect and drip from the unit onto the ceiling or floor.
Insulate the liquid and gas pipes separately with polyethylene foam insulation materials. Inadequate insulation may
cause condensation to drip. Pipes in the ceiling are especially vulnerable to condensation and require adequate
insulation.
