This HVAC calculator helps determine the recommended copper pipe size for refrigerant lines based on air conditioner capacity. Correct pipe sizing is essential for proper refrigerant flow and efficient compressor operation.
1 Ton AC → Liquid 1/4", Gas 3/8"
1.5 Ton AC → Liquid 1/4", Gas 1/2"
2 Ton AC → Liquid 3/8", Gas 5/8"
3 Ton AC → Liquid 3/8", Gas 3/4"
Proper pipe sizing is important for HVAC installation and refrigerant charging.
Correct pipe size ensures proper refrigerant flow and prevents excessive pressure drop in HVAC systems.
Typically 1/4 inch liquid line and 1/2 inch gas line are used for 1.5 ton split AC systems.
Yes. Incorrect pipe sizing can cause compressor overload, poor cooling and increased energy consumption.
AC systems generally use refrigeration grade copper pipes designed to handle high pressure refrigerants.
