Zep 0 #1 June 30, 2010 Probably a dum question, but on a small ( 1/2 HP) compressor thier are three take offs, one used to connect the Schrader valve, one is the high side and the other is the low side. With out starting the compressor how do you tell which take off is high and which is low Edit to add, it's a new compressor so its never been connected. and no I don't have the original comp.

Brains 2 #3 June 30, 2010 High side is usually a considerably smaller diameter copper line. Low side is for gas, high side for liquid. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 14 #6 June 30, 2010 That's a good website. Great info, easy to use, and some of the best parts prices I've found. Just got a bunch of stuff from them last week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zep 0 #7 June 30, 2010 Skyrider, nice link but no help, The liquid and gas connections are both 1/4 inch. Looks like I'm going to have to remove the tube plugs and spin it up for a few seconds see which tube sqirts oil. If a manafacturer is going to use the same diameter take offs I wish they would lable them Bye the bye it's a Danfoss comp. Gone fishing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
