    Re: New split system install fluctuating high side

    7/8" tube in in middle of suggested recommended position.
    If me I would mount it at 4 o'clock, also note position after equaliser.

    Sorry it took so long to respond.

    Here's a video showing the actual behavior of both low and highsides during normal operation. It is still fluctuating, though slowly and not a huge amount. Both sides are moving, I didn't notice that before due to my broken gauge.

    Oddly enough, I see everyone except apparently Goodman says to mount the bulb at 4 or 8 oclock? Goodman says 10 and 2.

    I'm thinking of pulling the bulb out of the cabinet and mounting it further down on the suction line, as well as at the 4 oclock position. Thoughts?

    Is there a chance this lower section of suction line could be acting as a trap, and occasionally causing liquid to work it's way up near the bulb in it's current position? In the standard vertical position, this "trap" wouldn't exist, it would be downhill rather than up. Picture rotating the entire evaporator 90 degrees clockwise. That's how they are typically installed.
