Keep in mind that larger line set is going to reduce oil return(refrigerant velocity decreased in oversized pipe) If the compressor fails, recommend that line set to be replaced at the same time. Always enjoy seeing the time you take to make it a clean install 👍

@LordCoolnessocity 4 месяца назад

Hey guys. As much as you all may have issues with keeping that 5/8” Lineset, keep in mind that we do not know whether or not Zach brought this to their attention or not. In residential nowadays it is already difficult to get a customer to do the bare minimum much less a job that will obviously require significant amounts of Sheetrock and paint work after replacement. I will always give Zach the benefit of the doubt as he has shown himself to be one to do his very best in this industry and we should take things into consideration before criticizing every thing that isn’t perfect. The oil return will not be great on that one line, but we can relax knowing that the others are. Zach did his best with what he had and what he was likely given the permission to do. A new line would have easily cost a couple grand by itself after they pay someone to fix the Sheetrock and paint. In the future when they need to replace the unit, let’s let someone build it into a quote then when it is of the upmost importance.

@bavn59 4 месяца назад

I'm sure he knew and discussed it with the customer. Just read all the comments and I don't see anyone giving him crap for it. Just acknowledging it. Just posting about it because I know a lot of curious people, like myself, read comments to learn a bit more than the video offered. He mentioned he didn't like that it was 5/8", but I'm sure others that heard him say that didn't understand why.

@zack9912000 4 месяца назад

Even with that all said, personally if a customer wont do what I am recommending to make it right, I either refuse the job or have them sign off that problems will come down the road if not done as specified. That I am not responsible at all for when it fails.

@christophershort5480 3 месяца назад

You should get you a Mighty Bracket Mini-Split Support Tool, it basically hangs off of the actual mini-split bracket and holds the indoor mini-split up for you while you tie everything up on the back side. No second partner to hold it up for you, especially if your up on a ladder. Very easy and simple.

Question, for measuring those line sets theirs 2 lines in each set, 3 sets, so your adding up the length of 6 lines a copper for full length?

@huntermcintosh9311 4 месяца назад

Have you had any leaks using the press fitting vs brazing the joints?

@zack9912000 4 месяца назад

Brazing is always the best method. Press fittings are a mix bag for reliability even when done by the book.

@billcv80 4 месяца назад

Will that 5/8” copper mess with the performance? I have a m/s installed at a restaurant I work at and previous contractor ran 1/2, should have been 3/8. Long run, I think it makes its performance suck. Worked on it last summer, would be some good off season work. I guess I’ll call the manufacturer or text Ralph wolf. Great video.

@dporrasxtremeLS3 4 месяца назад

I thought the longer the line set the size goes up next size, and you have to add according to length calculation with oil too.

@Bryce-yk2sz 4 месяца назад

Try and find a company with journeyman who are happy to teach and do good work. Most companies where I’m from see a young g2 holder as someone who is still new, and expect to train them for either tin (308A or R) or refrigeration (313A or R). Just be honest when applying that you’re licensed lacking experience.

@madeinusa1576 4 месяца назад

I’ve worked on Row homes that they would turn into efficiency apartments and you had a stack the condensers on the roof similar to this way. It actually says 36 inches of clearance which this one doesn’t look far off but it’s not against code or proper adequate there’s just Specific specifications to go through. Same as a regular condenser. Would say the previous install was completely wrong.

That oversized refrigerant line is gonna require a whole lot more refrigerant than what would have been necessary. Which means it has to circulate more, killing the efficiency. You're right, it was a horrible install.

@HVACRTECH-83 4 месяца назад

A larger suction line doesn't kill efficiency really, it doesn't add that much refrigerant charge to the system at all. It's a vapor line. What you need to be worried about is oil return with improperly oversized vapor line. Read our comments below for more info on that

@topher8634 4 месяца назад

@@HVACRTECH-83 I thought that was the liquid line. Yeah it's not gonna require much more if it's the vapor, but like you said oil return is gonna be a problem as the velocity is gonna be too low to carry it back.

@LordCoolnessocity 4 месяца назад

@@topher8634there is no traditional liquid line on a ductless system. Both lines are on the suction side of the metering device and thusly are vapor lines all the way around.

@topher8634 4 месяца назад

@@LordCoolnessocity well the metering device is in the outdoor unit, so both lines are low pressure, but as you probably know, after the metering device it is a low pressure, low temperature liquid. It doesn't become a vapor until it boils from adiabatic expansion in the evaporator. That's why both lines are insulated, you don't want your liquid flashing before the evaporator and you don't want to increase superheat after it.
