    Re: New system tripping on low pressure??

    Attached is a pic of the unit. So tapped into the side of discharge just after those service ports will do nicely then!! Any considerations to make about the oil when coming off the side of the pipe as DTLarca mentioned!!

    6m is not too far. But you want the hot gas bypass valve as close to the compressor as possible so as to avoid hot gas condensing in the bypass line when it is idle which will cause a flood back when it becomes active.

    If you come off the side of the rising discharge pipe try go up then back down as in an inverted trap to prevent any condensed liquid falling back to the compressor discharge but with the hgbp valve close to the compressor - this liquid issue would be of little concern - but preventing oil from settling in an inactive bypass line would be a benefit.

    I agree with Gary that the bypass Tee would be better taken of before the 4-way but I don't think there would be any problem coming off after the 4-way.
