Aside from all the replies in here, the correct wire to use between the
outdoor and indoor unit is 14/5 and is available from the supply house where
you bought the unit. If not, Johnstone carries it. Yes, 14 guage, 5
conductor wire. It is made for this application and meets code as well as
manufacturer's specification (which sometimes is the code).
