It's the standard 20 foot line set. I looped the extra few feet behind the unit.
I checked with the dealer and with Sanyo HVAC, and 20' is fine.
I would guess, it's the most common line-set sold in America.
There must be a few thousand 20 footers installed by now.
Sanyo has been selling this model in the USA for a few years.
If there was a problem with 20' line-sets, or this batch of units,
it should have shown up by now.
From what I've heard, this model is well know for it's reliability.

My dealer provides a 20 footer 'free', but charges more for longer line-sets. See bottom of page:
24KHS72 - Sanyo 24,200 BTU Wall Mount Heat Pump Air Conditioner Kit

Besides, this is the second outdoor unit that's having the same problem.
That seems to point to the indoor unit..

Or, maybe it was the line voltage. I saw it up to 127 this morning.
That's 254 volts on my 253 volt Sanyo.. Not the idea voltage.
When that power use surge occurred, it might have been at 130 volts for all I know..
