1. A climate-control system comprising:
a first compressor including a first shell and a first compression mechanism, the first shell defining a first suction chamber from which the first compression mechanism draws working fluid, the first shell including a first suction inlet fitting through which working fluid is drawn into the first suction chamber;
a second compressor including a second shell and a second compression mechanism, the second shell defining a second suction chamber from which the second compression mechanism draws working fluid, the second shell including a second suction inlet fitting through which working fluid is drawn into the second suction chamber;
a suction manifold fluidly connected to the first and second suction inlet fittings; and
a flow restrictor disposed at least partially within the suction manifold, wherein the flow restrictor includes a body, a flange, and an aperture extending through the body and the flange, and wherein the flange extends radially outward from the body.
