Its model is TBH366GSS1.Its' liquid and gas piping connections are 1/4 and 5/8. The previously installed pipes of my apartment are 3/8 and 5/8. Is it ok to use reducer connector and install it by previously installed pipes?

I would replace both of them so you get no leftover oil or contaminants from the old unit into your expensive new unit. __________________ "Cut it twice and it is still too short".
