UV-resistant encapsulation is the protective layering over the copper lines that prevents the sun's radiation from degrading the foam insulation. This is a standard feature of the premium line sets found in our Installation Kits. For extra protection in sunny states like Florida or Arizona, we highly recommend using Line Set Covers for all vertical runs. A Bravo Milano 24,000 BTU Universal Floor/Ceiling will lose efficiency quickly if the insulation peels off, causing the refrigerant to warm up before it reaches the house. These covers also provide a clean, paintable surface to match your home's siding. For a Quad-Zone system, organizing all four line sets into one large cover is a great way to maintain curb appeal. Protecting your lines from the sun is an investment in both aesthetics and energy savings.
