DIYbanter - View Single Post - A/C refridgerant lines insulated together or seperately?

(Sam) wrote in message . com...
i wanted to add air conditioning to my new home. i have copper
tubing(4m) ready laid out but i noticed both tubes are taped together
inside the same insualting jacket. most a/c installations i see the
refridgeant lines are insulated seperatelty.

will it have much of a performance penalty on the A/C or is it ok?
anyone have tubing insulated like this?

Sam

It will give you a performance and energy efficiency penalty, but by
how much is another question. IOW it should be ok but is less than
perfect.
