.......Putting new siding up........... You just saved me some $$$$.. 👍thank you👍

This gentleman is to be thanked for the effort of making a video. The technique has many flaws. Use a proper spanner set not an adjustable wrench as the caps can be very tight. Also, with the other hand hold the valve stem with an adjustable wrench when you remove the caps. Pipe stems can bend and even brake, something that this gentleman is ignoring.The air con unit must be placed on COOL setting not heating setting BEFORE you decommission the external unit. Run for at least 5 -10 minutes. If possible place an air heater in front of the internal unit to warm up the evaporator coil. With the hex key break the seal (as the valve will be fully back seated) of the liquid line (HP) valve (1/4" pipe). NOTE at 2:22 in this video when he closes the liquid line, the copper pipe ices up. This tells you that the liguid refrigerant in the pipe is now evaporated. You need to allow all the liquid to evaporate. Run for a few minutes. He runs it for under 2 minutes. may not be enough. You will hear the compressor noise changing as it sucks all the vapour in the compressor circuit. You need to give the liguid refrigerant time to evaporate(in the evaporator that is why the heater will help). Close the gas vapour valve (front seating it) (LP)(5/8" pipe). Ensure both valves are tightly closed. Don't overdo it. Remove the copper pipes and IMMEDIATELY place masking tape to fully cover the valves and the pipes!!! Do not use bubble wrap like this gentleman did. NOTHING must contaminate the pipes or valves. Place the caps back on. Also useful to bring a spray bottle of soapy water to spray on the valve once it is closed to check for leaks. The professionals will use a manifold to decommission the external unit. It allows you to monitor the gas flow and to understand if there is more liquid gas in the evaporator. If the unit is very old it is possible that the valves leak. when you break the seal at the beginning, place soapy water all over the valve and see if it bubbles. If it does. Place the caps back on and call an HVAC pro. Allowing air to enter the condenser when pumping down means that the gas must be removed and disposed of and new gas introduced.

Congratulations sir. Very useful this video. Thanks a lot for taking your time to share this valuable information. Thanks

anna amazing explaination step by step instructions very thanking sir

Tnx bhai aapki help se aaj maine apne 1000 ₹ bacha liye without mechanic 😀😀😀......tnx

Brilliant! Thanks for posting.

Just what I was looking for. Thanks.

Thanks for the video.

It was very useful video.

Good job Sir kahit walang audio pero malinao

Thank you!

Upon reconnect, did you pump down the system yourself and recharge?

Tnx for this 👍💪

Thank you bro.

thank you!

Mine's is in heating mode can I pump it down with the heat running ain't that still sending Freon through the lines

Very useful 👍

You have done good job, thank you very much for detailed video.

Thank good video .

Thanks for this! What did you do with the loose power cable after?

Hi thanks for the video Does this procedure apply for Inverter AC as well

thank you! this was helpful!

Very useful 🙏

Great video i wish i watched this one before losing all my gas thanks to the other video i watched where he says to wait 30seconds ..

i just want to change the direction of my outdoor unit can I do it myself, now you have shown how to unplug but how do I reconnect this back?

Great video

Good job

It is a good video and a huge thank you for it but you can use the long side of the alan key too. :)

Tahniah Bro

Video helped a lot. Just have a question. Is the proccess the same to re install it ?? Or it needs to by done by a pro with special tools ?

Its good if you do its continued part for indoor until outdoor & indoor units kept on floor.

May i ask you sir i have plan to transfer my AC to other room with by my self. Can i just reconnect the two pipe and cup then reopen that 2 supply? Or can you tell me what to do for Reconnecting? !

Can you do this in heating mode? Will the steps be the same?

I did it exactly like you said and everything is fine. Thanks

Thank u..

Waited for ages for the person to switch to the alan wrench's long end.

Thank you.

Thank you is a small word

After removing the outdoor unit how to remove the pipe safely from indoor unit is their any connector or any joint ??

A question: you tighten up the gas valve first, after the air is changed from hot to normal you again tighten up the valve, is this process can be done 1 time or it should be done in 2 steps?

Is it necessary to switch on before unmantle?

how to put it back again?

Thanks a bunch dude! God bless... Mofos asking for 30-50 euros to dismantle my AC.

Love the black ops 2 intro

Thanks brother

I closed liquid line and after a few minutes decided to not pump down but re open liquid line. I expected the system to revert to normal operation, but the compressor cuts of after a few seconds, like there is a problem sensed. I left over 24 hrs to rebalance gas but the compressor still stops after a few seconds and cycles about every minute. What could be the problem after this closing of liquid valve temporarily for a few minutes? Why does the compressor stay on. It was fine before attempted cut short pump down.

My copper lines were soldered directly to AC unit. Can I cut these lines?

In case you are in heating mode close gas line and than liquid site?

very good job, please add audio. Rated number 1. Best ever. Thank you you my $500 I would like to send you a gift certificate.

I closed liquid line first and after 4 Minute i closed gas stop valve any problem pls tell

Do you just do the reverse order to hook it back up. Great video btw!

Super

Hello is this need to set to highcool to close all the valve to pump down?

👍👍👍

What is the size of hexagon wrench??

Please I need help I did the process successfully, I had little gas come out from the pipe from the indoor unit but now I need to put it back, the gas pipe get frozen white and it won't get cold inside is there something wrong with my unit ?

Can i do it by turning off the the ac, I’m worried of being electricuted

How do you know which valve is gas valve and which is liquid valve. The size of both the valve on brivis honbr50 outside unit is nearly same Thanks

Well this work on a vehicle? I would like to remove the ac unit from the vehicle. AC works but car can’t move.

what will happen if I just closed all valve without powering the AC for some minutes before do that

Good video Sir. Is it required to switch on the ac power before dismantling?

I have a 7000btu unit with only a 10ft pair of lines hooked up to my school bus conversion. What’s the length of time I should wait till closing the second valve?

Nice bro

Hi it have turns on on cooling yeah? I followed your steps but fan still not working, can this steps work if the fan not turning? Thanks

When you reinstall the unit is it the same procedure?

what's running and what does ....3 after 5 to 10 minutes mean?

What about if there gas still in the lines?

my problem is board is broken and I can't turn it on but need to remove unit. can you do this without turning unit on?

what about freon from pies ,its gone to air ?

Thanks

What if there is no power ? How can i remove the outdoor unit ?

hey man no need to discharge the gas or liquid before you close the valve or remove the copper pipe? huh

Thank you very much

When re installing, then is it same procedure? Ty

How did you remove the refrigerant. Where it go.

inverter or non inverter the same procedure?

What will happened if u just let u leak out?

For god sake, please use the long end of the hex wrench!

Oh, for goodness sake, use the long end of the hex wrench until you have to tighten it. Jeez. Like watching paint dry!

Sir how long to wait for gas valve after tightening the liquid valve?

Thank you sir! But how to make it run again?

What if the compressor is damaged.?

boss kung matagal nang tengga ang generator, kailangan pa ba e power on para maalis ang mga tubo?

Can you reconnect the same way you disconnect without using vacuum and gauge if the unit was down for less than a month?

It's safe if the liquid is leaking? Thnx the AC is not operating

Using the shifting spanner the other way around is less likely to damage the spanner.

bang apa mksud pump down sblm tutup valve tu and knpa nak psg ac?

After AC installation first open what pipe

I did it but when I remove pipe still gas is leaking

Bang, kalo nk check outdoor unit masih berfungsi x mcm mana nk check caranya?sbb sy baru dapat sebiji outdoor dari kawan igt nk pasang kt rumah tapi x pasti masih berfungsi x..tq

Bossing pag b ptay aircon ng matagal wala nba gas sa piping

Bro kalau dalam kondisi ada freon seperti ini, apakah aman dibawa pakai mobil untuk dipindahkan? Thank you

Brother mene ghalti se AC on kiye bagair outdoor seprate krdiya is se jo condenser me gas thi wo waist ho gai brother kitne percent gas meri zaya ho gai ap bta sakte hai

What is size of hexagonal wrench?

How to re-install it
