Sweaty R 22 Refrigerant lines
Is it true that the suction line should be sweaty on a hot humid day?

Nemo me impune lacessit.
How much blood do I have to bathe in to get clean?
Don't look down on anyone unless you're helping them up.

If they are not sweaty and you are properly charged according to the chart on a hot summer day and the system seems to be not cooling would you charge until the ones get sweaty to compensate for the bad ductwork?

Yeah that's what I told the homeowner which didn't go to well. So I had to walk away from the job. I guess I did the right thing

How would bad/poor duct work cause the vapor line not to sweat?

What about SH & SC? Gauge Pressures?

Are you really a tech?

If your return is sucking in 130 degree attic air the suction pressure will be so high that the saturated temp will be above the ambiant dew point.

That would be a broken return.

Why would you say that? I was just getting others opinions is it bad to do that? If so I feel sorry for your company!!

LOL all our duct work is in a basement, generally, a nice cool basement, with lots of room to walk around in.
Why am I the only naked person at this gender reveal party

You asked a simple, non-technical question with the only qualifier being Hot & Humid. This is the types of question that needs temeratures, pressures, SH, SC, etc.. . If all things are working properly, yes, the suction line temperature on a hot & humid day should be below the dew point virtually every time. If it is not most of the causes for a dry suction line are caused by a deficiency in the system
