Ductless & Mini-Splits

What Is a Line Set?

A line set is the pair of small refrigerant lines that connect a ductless mini-split's outdoor compressor to its indoor air-handling unit(s). It's what allows the two components to be installed apart from each other without central ductwork.

This definition is pending sign-off from a licensed HVAC reviewer.

Why It Matters to You

Line set length and routing affect where indoor and outdoor units can practically be placed during a mini-split installation.

Practical Guidance

Line sets should be professionally insulated and sealed at wall penetrations — a poorly sealed line set can let outside air and moisture into the wall cavity.
