    Use 1/4" on the high side, as in compressor discharge -> dsh -> condenser -> filter drier, 3/8" on the low side as in ->after evaporator till compressor suction.



    edit:

    i hate to do this, as i love ron, but i have a feeling you will be doing some more building. You don't need much 3/8", i would order a much larger roll of 1/4"

    Maybe it is beter to use the same size tube as with the kind thats on the compressor. Like on those rechies the high side port looks like 3/8" and if you maybe try to put a smaller tube on there it either constrics flow or just compresses gas down more by putting more strain on the comressor?

    Do you kinda get what im saying. Like as long as the ratio of high/low side OD is the same.?
