The error was specifically low pressure to that wheel and it gave me the option to disable SBC. I’m not sure how you would have low pressure to a caliper and the caliper be at fault - the SBC system went through all of the diagnostics and flagged the system as being bad. Max pressure on the

Correct. The lines come with both ends flared and the b-nuts on the tube. Both lines are insulated and need to be, unlike a normal central split system where only the vapor line is normally insulated. I forgot to mention that the 5/16 in adapter fits a standard 1/4 inch hose fitting. Vapor

So do you have to flare the line set no matter what? In other words, is the line set not already flared with the fittings in place for the provided length? Presuming that if it was and you wanted it shorter you would cut it down to length and move the fittings while doing so. -D > On Jun 28,

Cutting and flaring is not that big a deal but use a tubing cutter (not a hack saw) and a decent flare tool (not a bargain bin tool). If you hire a pro he'll have the right tools and it only takes a few minutes. Do bend the lines slowly and carefully so they don't kink. The outside unit
