First off, this unit is working great for me. It has been installed for 3 weeks.
This is a 12000 BTU unit. There are several Della mini-split installation videos on RU-vid. I did this video to show some of the steps and installation surprises most other videos gloss over.
I installed this unit about 1 week before uploading the video, and so far it's worked great. It easily cools my garage, even in the afternoon when the full sun is on my garage door. But don't expect it to cool you entire house. It's not that strong. And, my garage door is insulated with a foam insulation kit that works great to block heat.
The Della installation is not hard if you're good at light carpentry and experienced with electrical installations and air-conditioner Freon lines. If you don't have experience with these things, then hire someone who does.

I want to se da vacuum part

@stickyfrog Месяц назад

@scottswinda The Della unit is charged but the lines comeing from the indoor unit are not charged like a MrCool mini.

@MikeM100 Месяц назад

That's why pulling a vacuum is necessary. I got an AC installer friend to pull the vacuum for me and he confirmed that it needed to be done. I wanted to put that in the video, but he didn't want to be on camera.

What is the adapter size too pull the vacuum is is 5/16 or 1/2 inch adapter

@parkerharris1432 26 дней назад

5/16

@scottswinda4727 Месяц назад

Hey if that mini split is precharged it shouldn't need the lines vacuumed

@MikeM100 Месяц назад

The lines are open to the air. If you don't pull a vacuum then air will be in the lines, which will degrade it's performance. That is also in the manual. I got an AC installer friend to pull the vacuum for me and he confirmed that was the case.

you should never us loctite on flare fittings

@MikeM100 Месяц назад

Why not? I would like to know. I always have and never had any problems from doing it. My AC guy said to do it.

@@MikeM100 it goes against best practices, loctite should never be used on brass fittings

@tomdutcher195 Месяц назад

Personally, I’ve done gas propane and natural gas and HVAC for a long time. I have never used anything on a flare fitting….ever. I have never seen one loosen up from vibration or anything else for that matter. In gas work, it’s actually against code to use anything on the threads. I have just recently started using Nylog on the flare only. And that’s only because soft copper lines have gotten so much thinner in recent years. When you compress the copper flare to the brass fitting, it compresses to a certain extent and “springs” back so to speak, putting force on the nut and acting as it’s own thread locker, kind of. But, I would never use loctite on brass fittings, ever.

I'm almost positive that your AC guy was referring to Nylog, not Loctite, even if he said "Loctite". They kind of look similar (the blue Loctite anyway, not red), but in HVAC work, the Nylog is used not on the threads (nothing goes on the threads for brass/copper), but on the lip of the flare itself. Also, two more suggestions if I might? - Use a hammer drill for drilling through brick or other stone/concrete stuff. It's an absolute game changer and what it was made for. That half hour brick hole of yours would have taken about 2 minutes, no kidding. - If you're installing more mini splits in your future, consider getting your own flaring tool to cut your copper lines to size. They're not that expensive for a good set. Same with a basic vacuum pump and gauge set. You'll save a LOT of money over hiring your AC friend to come do this stuff and won't have to wait on him.
