Hi everyone, this is my first post! Im currently working on a small project of mine and need some technical advice. Please forgive me, I am a newb.

I have a masterflux dc compressor rated for a little over 5000 btu at 30 amps. They sent the compressor with a # 8 fitting on the high side and a #10 on the low side.

The problem I'm concerned with is that my evaporator and condensor are run in .25 outside diameter line. Will there be any problems with reducing the size down to what I need on the high side and enlarging it up to the low side?

Also if there arent any problems with that, where should I mought my access ports to get the pressure readings I should rely on?

Thanks in advance
