Re: How to Secure Lo-volt and AC Lines to Vinyl Siding
No raceway is allowed to be used as a support for other raceways or wiring systems ... except ... control wiring is allowed to be strapped to the raceway containing the power conductors to electrical equipment, such as the low voltage cable is allowed to be strapped to (but not twisted around) the raceway with the power conductors to a condenser unit.

Raceways are NOT allowed to support other items, including the refrigerant lines, as shown in the photo.

White cable ties (commonly called zip ties) are not allowed (not rated for nor approved for use for) use outdoors - because they are not UV resistant. Only black cable ties are rated and approved for outdoor use.

That's a mess, not as bad as it looks (meaning I don't think it will take that much to straighten it out), but it is still a mess.
