I would like to know which ports hole are the high and low side for the pressure switches? Looking from the back side of the compressor is the top one low side and the bottom one high side? Thank you, Craig

Do you see were my fingers are? Thought plugs come out to install the pressure switch's cut on and cut out. Need to know which. I think the one on top is low and the bottom one is the high side. Thank you, Craig

Hello,

The port closest to the suction port is the low side port.
