Understanding Longer Line Set Options for MRCOOL DIY 5th Gen Mini-Split Systems

🛠️ Understanding Longer Line Set Options for MRCOOL DIY 5th Gen Mini-Split Systems

At MRCOOL DIY Direct, we know that every home, building, and installation is unique. Not every project fits the one-size-fits-all model offered by most big box stores. That's why we offer customizable longer line set options to perfectly match your installation needs — while making the process as easy, economical, and efficient as possible for you.

Unlike other retailers, we don't leave you scrambling for extra parts or guessing what will fit your system. We bundle, prepare, and custom-build your order based on your specific selections, ensuring that you have everything necessary for a smooth, professional-grade DIY installation.


🔧 How the Standard MRCOOL DIY Line Set Kit Works:

Every new MRCOOL DIY 5th Gen mini-split system comes factory-packaged with:

  • A 25-foot pre-charged line set

  • A 25-foot shielded control wire

These components are pre-bundled at the factory, and for many customers, this setup works perfectly for straightforward installations. However, for larger homes, unusual layouts, or specific mounting locations, a longer line set may be required.


📏 Choosing an Alternate Line Set Length: What to Expect

When you select an alternate line set length (such as 16', 35', 41', 50', or 75'), the order cannot be pulled directly from a factory bundle. Instead, our team manually prepares a custom package tailored to your needs.

This means:

  • Your order will be custom-bundled after purchase.

  • Please allow an additional 1–2 business days for processing before your order ships.

  • You will receive the precise amount of pre-charged line set you ordered, along with the correct length of control wire to match.


🧰 How Line Sets Are Supplied for Different Lengths:

Depending on your selected length, you will either receive:

  • A single continuous pre-charged line set,
    or

  • A combination of two pre-charged line sets joined together using MRCOOL-provided couplers.

Here’s how it typically breaks down:

Selected Length What's Supplied Notes
16' One 16' pre-charged line set Swaps out the factory 25' line set
35' One 35' pre-charged line set Single continuous line set
41' 25' + 16' pre-charged line sets + coupler + extended control wire Two line sets joined together
50' One 50' pre-charged line set + 50' control wire Single continuous line set
75' 25' + 50' pre-charged line sets + coupler + 75' control wire Two line sets joined together

⚡ Why We Provide an Extended Control Wire:

The MRCOOL DIY mini split systems are inverter-driven "smart" HVAC systems, essentially operating like a computer. Because of that:

  • The control wire is shielded to protect sensitive data signals.

  • Splicing or extending control wire improperly can lead to:

    • Communication errors

    • System malfunctions

    • Long-term corrosion or signal interference

That’s why we always provide a full-length, continuous shielded control wire when longer line sets are involved — ensuring your system runs flawlessly from Day 1 without introducing potential problems.


⏱️ Why Custom Line Sets Take a Little Longer to Prepare:

Because we build your order individually:

  • We manually gather the exact line sets, couplers, control cables, and accessories needed.

  • Each bundle is double-checked for accuracy to ensure nothing is missing or mismatched.

  • This level of attention takes time — usually an extra 1–2 days before your system ships.

We believe this custom preparation is critical to making your DIY project as easy, professional, and error-free as possible.

📏 Understanding Line Set Lengths for MRCOOL DIY and Advantage Series Systems

At MRCOOL DIY Direct, we want you to have the right parts for your installation the first time — without the confusion that often comes with shopping for mini-split HVAC systems.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you get — and what you need to know — about line sets for each MRCOOL product line:


🛠️ 5th Generation MRCOOL DIY Single-Zone Systems

  • Included Line Set:
    All 5th Gen Single-Zone DIY mini split systems come standard with a 25-foot pre-charged line set and a 25-foot shielded control wire.

  • Alternate Line Set Lengths Available:
    If your installation requires a different distance, we offer optional line sets in:

    • 16'

    • 25' (standard)

    • 35'

    • 41'

    • 50'

    • 60'

    • 66'

    • 75'

    Each longer configuration includes:

    • The correct length of pre-charged line set(s)

    • Pre-installed couplers (if multiple sets are needed)

    • Upgraded continuous control wire to match your total run length

Note: Longer line sets (beyond 25') will replace the included 25' control wire with a properly matched extended cable to prevent signal issues in these inverter-driven systems.


🛠️ 5th Generation MRCOOL DIY Multi-Zone Systems

  • Custom-Built to Your Needs:
    Multi-zone MRCOOL systems are highly flexible — line set length requirements vary depending on:

    • Number of indoor air handlers

    • Placement of each indoor unit relative to the outdoor condenser

  • Available Line Set Options:
    For each connection (zone), you can choose from:

    • 16', 25', 35', 41', 50', 60', 66', and 75' pre-charged line sets.

Multi-zone packages are custom-prepared based on your selected air handler locations and run distances — making it easy to create the perfect configuration for your home or building.


🛠️ EZPRO DIY Systems

  • Included Line Set:
    MRCOOL EZPRO DIY mini split systems come standard with a 16-foot pre-charged line set and control wire.

  • Alternate Lengths Available:
    Just like 5th Gen DIY, you can upgrade your EZPRO line set to:

    • 25', 35', 41', 50', 60', 66', or 75' options.

EZPRO line sets are fully pre-charged, quick-connect ready, and bundled with everything needed for fast, simple DIY installation.


🛠️ MRCOOL Advantage Series Systems (Non-DIY)

  • Included Line Set:
    MRCOOL Advantage series systems come standard with a 16-foot traditional flare connection line set.

  • Alternative Length Options Available:
    You may also choose:

    • 25-foot traditional line set

    • 50-foot traditional line set

⚠️ Important:
Advantage Series systems are not DIY pre-charged units.

  • Line sets for these systems use traditional flare fittings.

  • Air handlers are pre-charged with nitrogen for shipping.

  • A professional HVAC technician must vacuum and properly charge the system with refrigerant during installation.

Advantage systems are an excellent value but are intended for professional installation.
