On most of the Tecumseh fractional hermetics I've seen the Suction line is highest and largest. The discharge is next to the process and just below. YMMV. Tecumseh has an excellent service handbook, pm me your email if you would like a copy.
What's the compressor model number? Also, if you have the Bill of Material (BOM) number, you can ID the stub tube connections by entering it in this little program: Compressor Housing Drawing App
Don,t forget to use a biflow drier in your new heatpump.
I took measurment with caliper there is 1 tube that comes off the top part of the compressor and goes straight up which is 5/16 and put my schrader for suction press., and there are 2 tubes that come out lower on comp. 1 is 5/16 or .3125 the other is .250 and which data says that is discharge but i am getting suction on this 1/4 inch tube, comp. goin back

Hi, so what your saying is that on this compressor the 1/4 inch is the suction and the 3/8 is the discharge. i have never seen this before, i was trained that the smaller tube is going to be discharge line. thanks
You sure it's piped correctly? There are plenty of pumps out there with a 1/4 or 5/16 discharge line, 3/8 suction line and 1/4 suction tap.
