Ok guys. I have a kind of stupid question. I got my compressor yesterday and I cant understand which line is which. Where should I braze the access valve, which is the suction line etc.
Thanks

here you are.
Just search in google :)
I think that discharge is that right-far tube, suction is near it, and valve for third tube against them, but i can mistake ;).
on my compressor the solitary one in the back is the service valve (schrader) the one on the right while looking at it from the front is the high side and the one on the left is the low side.... you might want to check your manual btw. Iam just saying what mine is like

I would have checked the manual first but the only thing it had was some instructions concerning the wiring (some schematics etc)

When in doubt pull the plugs and run it the one that blows is the discharge the other two are the suction. Make sure to do this for a very short time and real it back up with a little dry nitrogen or refrigerant blown in to keep the oil free of moisture. It would be better to solder it in at that time also and then pull a vacume.

I was planning not to buy any refrigeration gauges and refrigerant before vacation because I am dont have enough money at the moment. isnt there another way to do this?

i found something. A picture that says that the "refoulement discharge" (discharge line i suppose) is the straight tube. So the others are the suction line, fill line. But which is which? (or it doesnt matter?).

found it. The one on the right (top) is the discharge line. The one below it is the suction line and the one on the left is the one where i ll braze a shrader valve in order to fill the system with refrigerant.
