Accepted Answer

Option B: to the line connected to the evaporator outlet. Marine compressor service valves connect service ports such as port 7 directly to the evaporator outlet line upstream of the valve body, allowing technicians to accurately monitor running suction pressure and perform essential gauge readings.
