HVACDiagnostics & Troubleshooting3MediumTechnician$ implied
After replacing a Schrader valve on a unit's suction port, the pressure reads 0 via that port but standing pressure is present on the universal port, indicating a potential issue with the valve installation, seating, or a restriction.
No specific software solution mentioned, but the technician lacks a diagnostic tool or guidance system to verify Schrader valve installation and identify restrictions without trial and error.
