For 1°F pressure drop, multiply rated BTU by 1.44 before using the Suction Horizontal Line Sizing Table.
++
Larger suction horizontal line size may be used, if preferred.
†
3/4 horizontal suction line may be used to reduce cost.

* If horizontal line size is smaller than specified vertical riser size, the smaller size may be used for both.
†
3/4 suction riser may be used to reduce pressure drop.
It may be necessary to make adjustments to compensate for
special situations which cause the actual Btuh to differ from
the rated Btuh of the cases.
All liquid line and suction line sizes are inches, refrigeration O.D.
Subject to change without notice.

For hot gas defrost, use a liquid line one size larger than shown.
For 1°F pressure drop, multiply rated Btuh by 1.45 before using the Liquid Line Sizing Table.
Larger liquid line size may be used (such as 3/8), if preferred.
3/4 liquid line may be used to reduce cost.
