*Restriction effect on head pressure varies with the exact location of the restriction, system refrigerant capacity, presence of a receiver and whether 78 41.58
the charge is correct. Restrictions may show high head with short runtime, or on systems with very small condensers or on systems that have been 79 42.62
overcharged in addition to the restriction. In general, restrictions are in the liquid Line and will result in low head after sufficient run time.
