(1).Reducing gas pipe size will lower cooling capacity due to larger pressure loss in gas piping and narrow operation range.
(2).Reducing liquid pipe size will narrow operation range due to indoor unit relation with expansion valve capacity.
(3).Increasing liquid pipe size will require additional refrigerant charge.
(4).When using Ø 19.05 gas pipe (soft-annealed), please switch ON DSW2-4# in the Outdoor Unit PCB.
