I’m building a shop and want to rough in for a mini split. My plan is to install the unit later cause I don’t the money to due it now. Is it a standard 1/4” & 3/8” line set for the ms? Thanks.

If it's anything like the Mr. Cool unit I put in my shop, there's nothing to rough in. You screw a plate to the wall (into a stud) and cut one hole with a hole saw for the line-set. Everything is on the surface.
Not my picture, but it illustrates the concept.  Attached File |

Linesets come pre flared so allow for the fittings.
Personally I’d do a 4” plastic electrical conduit. You never know what else you may want to route outdoors over the years. |

The mr.cool comes with a plastic conduit sleeve that passes through the wall

Run power to the outdoor unit location and cut a hole in the wall for the refrigerant line/power/condensate. I'd probably leave the hole until the last minute.

Run your electrical. Mine required double pole 20 for 2 tons, so nothing too fancy.

Depends on the size of the unit. The bigger they are the bigger the lineset. Just look up which one you want and get the specs and dimensions for the wall exit.

I wouldn't run any copper until you have the unit on hand and can check literature on it. |

Pull down the installation drawing for the mini split you plan to buy. There will be a section that deals with ruff-in requirements and dimensions.
