Hey Curtis my name is Oscar I own an ac company here in Houston TX. Thats the space where a Captain Hook tip comes handy.

@jsundevil1 Год назад

Just found out my reversing valve went out on a 2 year old unit. Tech was telling me it’s one of the worst repairs to do and now I see why. Cheers to you HVAC techs who bust ass and do things the right way

@bigdaddy5948 Год назад

Yeah. Getting the compressor out might have been easier. Tough job

@phillipjoy1305 Год назад

You should try a rosebud tip to unsolder those fittings.Great videos 😊

@amersingh2557 Год назад

Great job. Your workmanship is perfect. That was a tough one to weld.

@MariosACandRefrigeration Год назад

The sawsall made the difference,great job.

@benkuxhouse787 Год назад

That was a real tight job. I’ve done that a whole bunch of times cutting out reversing valves and then unsoldering them. I’m surprised by how a few people use turbo torches I have 1 with all the tips. I love the way the heat goes around the pipe with the turbo torch especially in a tight spot. I am also surprised you were able to do that with silphos instead of the silver bearing solder with the flux that I’ve always had use for a reversing valve.

@cutzwithrazzor Год назад

I love my turbo torch! I do mostly residential compressor jobs. That almost looks like it would of been easier to just take out the compressor.

@benkuxhouse787 Год назад

@@cutzwithrazzor I’m surprise he was able to make those welds with silphos. I had a really tight job very summer to this on a water source two-stage heat pump with two compressors. I had to remove 1 compressor to access the reversing valve and was still very difficult. I soldered on tips so I could pressurize the system before I put the compressor back. I’ve cut out reverse calves before with a saws all that’s what I’ve done many times. You would think that Trane could’ve come up with a better idea than this. If the back panel was removable, you could take the blower out remove the panel and then reversing valve would be right there. I don’t think that is removable I think it is all one piece and you’d have to disassemble the whole unit. It’s a job I wouldn’t want to have to do I hope I never have to I am in a school district job now we don’t have any units like that

@Bryan-Hensley Год назад

I bet I've changed 10 expansion valves on those Trane package units. I usually replace reversing valves at the joints further out if possible, like the factory installed them.

@c_young-hvac4586 Год назад

I use an old pair of green tin snips to cut the pipe below the solder joint and the un solder of course . I like to pull the compressor ...but you handled it like you wanted to and I say to each their own as long as the results are the same

@jthonn Год назад

Great job! Tight little area to braze in. I thought you were going to pull the compressor so you could get at it, but you pulled it off.

@biblebloopers946 Год назад

I just did a reversing valve a few months ago exactly like this. Cut it out with a sawzall

@joshuat2751 Год назад

nothing i hate more than seeing a dispatch to replace a damn reversing valve... especially in water sourced heat pumps in condos.

@donnyjackson1908 Год назад

Tough job. Definitely one you do first thing and keep the day open to give yourself plenty of time.

@williamserver4332 Год назад

That looked like a tough one for sure. Great video

@DanO181919 Год назад

Been waiting for this one.

@kg4muc Год назад

That valve was in a mean location to braze! Yanking the compressor out might have made a little more easy to braze. But a nice job for sure

@harrygilbert4593 Год назад

Why not pull the compressor. So much blind brazing. Had me watching till the end to see the repair swooshed.Nice work.

@kylegreene1583 Год назад

Even though the compressor was in the way, good job.

@michelgrenier1878 Год назад

Excellent job on that valve replacement ; They are such a pain to replace !

@guybonin8050 Год назад

Looks like it may have been quicker and easier taking the compressor out. But I know at the time you’re thinking a 50/50 shot.

@johnwalker890 Год назад

Great work Curtis.those reversing valves can be difficult to braze in with out melting the nylon inner piston sleeve

@juncusbufonius Год назад

Ha BigClive demonstrated on of those schrader valve tools a few days ago. And now I've seen it on the front line. Neat.

@tonydelgrego2906 Год назад

Nice professional repair

@jaymz0074 Год назад

Good Job and another great video.

@raytinsman2672 Год назад

Best way I found is to braze the discharge, then position a hose and secure it, to put a layer of water on the body, then braze all the other lines. Valve never gets even warm

@mikemalone6103 Год назад

Great work but I can’t believe you didn’t remove the compressor, that job would have been sooooooo much easier.😂

@tonykillingsworth9247 Год назад

It's gonna cost them but I turn the compressor around so the valve is out and re pipe everything accordingly ...next guy has a much better day !

@hinspect Год назад

Great video👍 I looked at an American Standard package unit like that about 12 years or so ago. I believe they were made by the same company. That looked like a pain to do, looks like it turned out great😀🇺🇸

@EastDallasKicks Год назад

You like American standard? Quality good? Fun to work on?

@MegaDysart Год назад

Trane owns American standard, or maybe the other way around. Pretty sure it's been that way since the early 2000s maybe even longer. They were both owned by Ingersoll Rand up until a few years ago. Same company that owns bobcat and a few other major companies

@JamesBrown-db9pk Год назад

That's one thing I have done yet changed reversing valve.. I fixed a hole on one once. I was lucky that I fixed it or wise I had to change it.

bent the reversing valve top- pipes with pliers then cut them with the metal cutter plier.. unsolder the Rvalve

@carlsousa7382 Год назад

I have a wall mount heat pump that is going off on high head pressure only in heat. It works fine in cooling but the suction is a little low. Do you think it is the reversing valve or expansion valve at the outdoor or maybe plugged orfice at indoor coil? Love watching your trouble shooting skills and the way you don't get frustrated when things go wrong.

@timrob0420 Год назад

Call a reputable technician to diagnose it. Nobody can diagnose something off youtube comments section lol

@douglaskahane141 Год назад

Use an expander just a little to make the lines easier to go in.

@uratruffatore Год назад

Dude...cut the tag out of your left glove...I promise the mattress police won't come and get you...lmao

@timrob0420 Год назад

Reversal valve is definitely the hardest repair on a heat pump

@imwojo Год назад

Put some metal tape over the scorched area will look just fine.

@mortalfoolproductions Год назад

Can I replace my Trane 2 ton reversing valve with a 3 ton valve? Thanks for the great video

@artwalters6871 Год назад

reversing valves are a pain no matter how you do them.

@roywright5485 Год назад

If the copper pipe is heated properly, shouldn’t the capillary action of the soldering suck the solder around to the backside of the joint? And I’m assuming the flax is in solder rods?

@chaneystarnes1959 Год назад

If you would cut your video length in half, I believe you could double your viewership. I love your videos. But I can’t invest 35 minutes per day watching them. Just some friendly advice.

Idk man the HVACR VIDEOS channel has lots of 35+ minute long videos and I'm freaking glued to both channels. He has a few hundred thousand subs. I think Curtis is doing really well in the sub count area. A little more fine tuning with video titles and thumbnails and he's gonna take off.

@Silky_boi Год назад

Trane package units just suck period! Reversing valve in a horrible spot, and they make the damn units so unnecessarily wide and offset the duct terminations to the left so 90% of existing plenums never fit. The engineer who designed this is a jackass to say the least.
