One for the fridgies

Is it on a slope to the rear,if not it should be about twice the slope the manufacturer specifies.

Most do have a drain but from memory a few don't and rely on what 4bee said.

The drain could be out the rear or just a hole in the baseplate.

Usually the baseplate is full of rubbish and needs a good clean out,which entails removing the unit,taking off all the panels and cleaning it paying good attention to the water drain holes and channels,then refit and all should be good.Paintbrush and water with a cleaner helps,maybe Truck Wash?And keep any water or cleaner well away from the electrics and fan motor.

Oh,and while it is out check the slope of the case.

I am presuming its a box roomy AC unit?

EDIT...just saw Tombies post which answers everything loud and clear.[biggrin]

Thanks Mike, is there no end to your talent? [biggrin]

OK do got a bullet valve and looking for the best place to fit it, the tail out of the compressor was mentioned but looks vulnerable . The bright section of return line behind the insulated output pipe looks OK to me ?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9ba1f2f457.jpg

Bung it on the trail, that's what is there for [emoji6]

TAIL[biggrin]

Thats the pipe that runs low and goes no where in front of compresser.

It could be full of oil,the way its positioned,but not an issue.

Is there any issue with the threaded end facing upwards or is horizontal best ?

I always put them on so pipe is pierced on top, if possible.

Minimises chance of oil coming out of access port.

Yep, auto correct on the phone.

It throws up some 'interesting' corrections at times, and often 'corrects' my grammar when I'm several sentences past a word [bighmmm]

It will only be "pipe oil" & I doubt any other oil from it's normal charge will escape as the pipe would appear to be above the normal comp. level but as Paul said "shouldn't be an issue".
