When you removed the schrader cap I could hear hissing each time. Nice find.

Interesting video. Thank you. I’m impressed by the craftsmanship of the pipe work by the installer. Actually the whole facility looked top notch.

Hey you're doing better at explaining.. thanks for that...

Top notch service. I hope you are paid well. Your attention to detail is exemplary.

Exemplary thoroughness. Thanks for your example and for the effort to educate.

I love the Stratus. Thanks again for answering all my questions about it. Another great job at being precise, using the E2 to let you know the issue and implementing a proper repair

My favourite compressor is frascolds as they can take a lot of stick and are suction cooled not fan cooled like prescold and Copeland's Plus frascolds are a bit cheaper than the makes of semi hermetics but I've worked on all makes of compressors tbf in my lifetime

To get it out of defrost faster, you can select "clean" then "end manuel mode"..goes right back into refrigeration

Really good videos, and i like the fact you do not replace parts that were not needed that were not in the quote.

Should have pulled the charge, R404A is a zeotropic blend and may not perform as well as with a virgin charge of R404A. This means that the mixture of gases in the refrigerant will boil off at different rates so when a leak happens one or more of the blend will leak out before the other resulting in a system that does not perform well.

I totally agree with you a lot of little buckets can carry out more than one very large bucket.. you did a great job! You went far above and beyond going up that ladder. Be careful and remember you are a Craftsman everybody should be proud of you.

Excellent job 👍👍👍

I love how you said you see how those are flat 😅

Your getting comfortable with refrigeration system from last year that flaring tool is awesome l wish l had tool when l was in a service van.

Great work finding the leak

Our old hands , wrist and tendons I really love all these new NAVAC swage and flare and the Milwaukee battery powered tubing cutter of course Purchased at True Tech Tools 👍

Nice job Rick!

Nice video I been in refrigeration for a year now and I’m still learning

Great looking refrigeration install. Don`t see that to much any more. And they know how to use a bender to eliminate joints when possible. Today all ya see are line sets that generally look like crap. If you noticed your leaks except for the flair was in valves and schraders . Perhaps the manufacturers need to step it up a bit. Nothing like having valves to isolate system components. Great job on your patience to keep checking for those nasty leaks

Can you explain a little bit more on how you didnt vacum that part of the system? I didnt completly understand. Thanks.

That’s a good find, since it’s not a rack system I’d agree on the shrader valve being the leak in the system, if it was a rack I’d definitely suggest a more thorough leak search

Good job bro. Good to see you’re still making videos.

End of the field piece of equipment I know you might prefer the stuff that you use but try it out and I bet you it will change everything

Just an idea ... Do like acservicetech take the brass caps drill a small hole in center put on shrader and you can apply the bubble solution to the tip of cap at hole and not fill shrader hole! Lol just sharing! Good work! Stay safe! 👍👍

You're the man Rick!

Love that leak detector

Now we know why sight glass is yellow. There was no pressure on half inch line so guarantee air in system now. You pumped down using king valve, could have easily pulled vacuum using suction schrader.

So funny with the nilog.lol

Awww that sweet E2

very thorough leak search, nice work 🤘

That flaring tool is awesome! I may have to look for one at some point! Great work as usual!

You can drill a small hole in the end of a cap to test schrader ports. With small amount of bubble leak detector applied to the cap with a finder the it won't go into the port at all. Also for larger leaks you can use Nylog as a test liquid.

Quality video. Making it look easy.

Good job as usual and good vid Sir ... Thx for sharing ...

Nice work

Awesome video again. Thanks for posting and I will definitely use your code for True Tech Tools next time.

Good job Rick, I guess that flare tool is worth the money.

Had a handful of Schraders go bad on me lately, and the stems were bent and would get caught on the access fitting, I had to install swivel tees in some cases where I couldn't get some out. Don't know why they'd become bent outta shape like that but it happens, oh and loose packing nuts ahd bad flares.. I started using these blue caps you put inside flares, seem to work pretty well still use nylog on the rim and threads though.

Great job man!

We have the navac at work best tool we own so much more efficient than hand flaring

Maybe I missed it but you were about to explain what the purpose of the fan on top of the compressor is for.

That's a fancy flaring 🔧 tool 🔧

by the way : no vac = Super Tech badge pulled Sir ! And I'd like to speak to the manager please ( I couldn't find a Karen emoji though...).

I ask what type of compressor is that. Is it a scroll compressor?

Awsome Job, Just got the Testo 557s Kit, Ill have to grab that scale next! Any other good Testo tools I should grab?

20:44 would a telescoping pole work? For a quick check?

Nice

Nice work. Purge > vacuum all day.

👍💪❄️🇺🇸 Nice work 🙏

Why don’t you use a fieldpiece scale

Perhaps the gasket has just given up over time due to heating and cooling of the unit cycling or vibrations.

That flaring tool is too bulky. No way I would buy something to take up more space than necessary in my van.

I'm surprised the computer haven't start an alarm as soon as the graph was changing

194 thumbs up

I get on everything with my cobra’s and yea it leaves teeth marks but who cares to be honest?

" insert tool company name here " : dumbing down the industry one electronic tool at a time ... Next step : Uber hvac coming to you !

cut out those allways leaking flare fiiting pooooor skills
