Never thought I would have this problem, always brought up thinking that the thinest of the pipes is always the high side while the 2 fatter pipes are the suction and charge pipes. Fitted an Aspera today and got totally confused and nearly made the error of piping it up wrong, the high pipe was a 7mm pipe, same as the marked suction pipe while the charge was a 5 mm pipe. Something to look out for.

Re: Identifying Compressor Suction and High side pipes
Another tip although my fridge instructor would frown is to connect the electric up to the thing and see which stub blows the other two are then suction/charging stubs. 😯

Re: Identifying Compressor Suction and High side pipes
phew, I almost didnt post the original for fear of embaressment at such a error. Glad to know I am not the only one.
I had already connected the suction side so blowing up the pipes was not an option at the time.
Odd thing is that the manufacturer goes to great lengths to point out the suction pipe with a big labeled arrow and yet that is quite obvious while the other 2 are not marked at all. Along with lack of wiring diagrams for some unusual starting devices and never marking the horsepower (yet most suppliers sell them by that rating) ratings they are not making life easy.Re: Identifying Compressor Suction and High side pipes
was alwaysthe the thinner pipe. oor at a different hight to the other pipes any of you done dip 6816 f/f. was freezing milk an veg. chande state still doin same 😳
