Where to Place Excess Linesets: Do They Need to Be Directly Behind the Condenser?

Excess linesets in your MRCOOL system do not need to be placed directly behind the condenser. They can be positioned in various locations—behind the unit, mid-run, or elsewhere—depending on your installation setup. However, if the lineset is coiled at an elevation higher than the condenser, make sure to coil it horizontally, not vertically, to avoid the formation of oil traps that can affect system performance.

Proper lineset placement and coiling are key to ensuring smooth operation. For further guidance, refer to your installation manual or contact MRCOOL support.
