Oh ok. Not what they do here. So the units come with the pipe connected and purged. What happens if the distance between the header and a/c unit is only 3 or 4 feet do you just coil up the pipe to shorten it? Is the pipe some sort of flexible pipe more like hose for the US units? Ours use ridged copper pipe and you cut it to length to suit your installation.

I just coiled the excess behind the evaporator. A hivac guy I know says that is actually a good thing.

Not so sure that Liquid Tight would pass inspection. Maybe lose some slack and strap it horizontally to the masonry would be the trick.

Ok makes thing easier unless the unit is close to the header I guess.

Quite a bit easier and didn't have to (cough cough) buy a vacuum pump and gauges. (Guzzi content)
