I thought the same thing. I'd check mine and tell you what it says but
it's raining. |

A/C filter-drier flow direction
I just had a new a/c system installed so forgive this if it's a stupid
question... I thought the uninsulated line running to the compressor was the freon return line and the flow was *toward* the compressor. On my system, the flow arrow on the filter-drier is pointing out. See picture.... http://home.comcast.net/~iflyfish/ac.jpg Is this the correct mounting of this part? Thanks, David |

This is correctly installed. The small line travels towards the house.
The large line, the freon travels towards the outdoors. -- Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. .. "DJA" wrote in message ...

You may not have codes to follow in your area, but common sense should tell you and the installer that the way the high voltage wiring is installed IS NOT right! I'm almost willing to bet there isn't a disconnect there either. Zip tying the 220volt power supply to the suction line..... Geeesh. Is this on a Carrier condenser? |

Just because the condenser is a Carrier is NO excuse for the electrical to be done like that. Are you the OP? |
