Question on line size
Hey, sorry for the dumb question.
I'm kinda confused on the specifications of my compressor which states:
Suction 6.5 mm SLANTED 42º UP + 45° TO BACK COPPER
Discharge 4.94 mm SLANTED 30° UP + 24° TO BACK COPPER
Process 6.5 mm SLANTED 45° UP + 45° TO BACK COPPER
So, easyly enough, I'm required to fit a 6mm OD tubing at the suction and process port, but what about the discharge? 5mm won't fit and I can only seem to find 4mm OD available to buy. Can I safely put a 4mm pipe? Won't it affect the flow or wouldnt it be a problem to obtain a solid brazing due to the excessive gap?
I've checked the diameter of a refrigeration I have at home with the exact discharge size and it does use a 4.75 mm pipe which I can't find for the life of me.
Cheers,
Andrea
