A line guide for enabling a single person to complete the installation of refrigeration lines in a pre-built structure. The line guide is adaptable to both wood and metal frame construction. In one embodiment, the line guide has a unitary body comprised of an attachment bracket with a guide tube formed therein. The guide tube's axial orientation changes over its length. The guide tube's change in axial orientation may be fixed or variable. In addition, the guide tube may be detachable from the bracket enabling guide tubes of different fixed orientations to be used in combination with the same bracket. In another embodiment, the line guide is adapted for use in retrofit building applications. A guide tube is positioned through a hole formed in the soffit of the structure thereby allowing access to the overhead space. Annular bracket fittings help secure the guide tube in the soffit hole.
