Refrigerant Lines

To maintain similar flow velocities around the system, the diameter of the Refrigerant Lines varies to suit the two-pressure/temperature conditions. The larger diameters are installed in the low pressure/temperature zone and the smaller diameters are installed in the high pressure/temperature zone. Low and high pressure service fittings are incorporated into the refrigerant lines for system servicing.
