Trane OXBOX J4AC4 Series User Manual

The suction line must always be insulated. DO NOT allow the
Liquid Line and Suction Line to come in direct (metal to metal)
contact.
Using suction line larger than shown in chart will result in poor oil
return and is not recommended.
For example: the system capacity published in AHRI is 17800
Btu/h. This data is based on the AHRI test condition and 25 feet
line set with standard suction tube size (3/4" tube). If you need to
add the line set more than 25 feet or use the optional suction
tube size, you need to recalculate the capacity with the
coefficient in the table. For 50 feet line and 5/8" suction tube, the
capacity will be 17800*0.97=17266 Btu/h.
