On split system installations, the suction line should be pitched towards the compressor at least
Suction line should be insulated for 2 reasons: 1) so it does not drip condensation everywhere it passes through the homes interior space. ie attic, inside walls etc. 2) cool suction gas is what cools the compressor motor during operation, insulating the pipe carrying it helps prevent that gas from picking up heat from the surrounding air ensuring it remains an effective coolant for the motor. The original reply was also correct, an effort to pitch the suction line towards the compressor should be madr wherever possible to aid in oil return.

Is the suction line the high side?
No, the liquid (discharge) line is the high pressure side. The suction line is the low pressure side.
Why is your suction line warm?
your starving the evaporator
Comparration diameter size of suction and discharge?
The diameter of the discharge line leaving the ac compressor would be smaller than the suction line, because the compressed gas in the discharge line is more dense.
How do you determine what suction pressure should be in R22 air conditioning compressors suction line?
The proper suction pressure of any air conditioning or refrigeration system is determined by the type of refrigerant used and sometimes the amount of charge. : Suction pressure used is also directly related to the temperature required. : The temperature required in the evaporator relates to the pressure required in the suction line since, the fluid is at saturation in the evaporator. : Knowing the temperature required, use the fluid's saturation tables to find the corresponding pressure required.
What two copper lines connect the evaporator section with the condensing unit?
suction line liquid line
How should an air conditioner suction line feel to the touch?
A suction line is usually cold to the touch.
What is the liquid line and suction line?
The suction line is the big one. This line should be cold when the unit is on. The small line is the liquid line.
Should air conditioner suction line be cool to the touch?
Yes It should be cold and sweatting
What side of compressor is suction on 5.9 V8 1996 Dodge?
The larger line is suction. The larger line is the suction side which should be on the right side of the compressor......
Why compressor suction line ice forming in a refrigeration system?
air contains moisture & suction line is very cold both in contact moisture turns into ice. just a joke
How do you quailify for refrigerant recovery epa certification?
A suction line filter is added to the system for a different purpose than the liquid line dryer. A suction line filter is added:A : to keep acidic oil in the system from working its way back into the new compressor.B because the suction makes the acid removal better.C because the suction line is cold and full of acid.D all of the above.
How do you tell the suction line in central air conditioning from the high side line?
The suction line will be the larger line going into the compressor.
Should a humidifier be hooked to a hot or cold water line?
It should be hooked to a cold line.
Is the suction line the high side?
No, the liquid (discharge) line is the high pressure side. The suction line is the low pressure side.
Why is the suction line of a pump larger than the discharge line?
It is common practice to specify the pump suction line one size larger than the pump discharge line in order to increase the Net Positive Suction Head available (NPSHA) to the pump. A smaller suction line the same pipe size as the discharge line would result in more pressure drop in the suction line and reduce the amount of head available to the suction side of the pump. This in turn would result in an operating point closer to cavitation of the pump.
What indicates a problem while inspecting a suction line of an air conditioner?
"What" on the suction line of an air conditioner indicates a problem?
What is the normal gauge pressure on the suction line of a running refrigerator?
It depends if it has suction cups on its shoes or not
