Returned to this job after completing a maintenance a few weeks ago, found the system low on charge. At the time scheduling didn’t allow for the repair. So came back to do the work.
First initial thought was the lineset was leaking under the soil, but after searching found it was leaking at the coupling from the time system had gotten installed. Cut out the old piece of copper repaired with the new, dadada you get it 😂
Hope y’all enjoyed the video, smash the 👍🏻 button subscribe, I appreciate yall 🫡

Those underground line sets have to go. Should be protected with 3"pvc

@KoolinwithKrauss 10 ай бұрын

Ya it should but they don’t 🤦🏼‍♂️ under the foundation it’s ran thru a 4” pvc chase with the drain but once it exits the building just in the ground, it’s terrible

It’s so convenient!! I have the “spin”version then just for the rectorseal set, which is nice for the 1/4” shank for impacts

Never could understand the point of running them underground. Just seems like trouble waiting to happen

Hey man, nice vid! Just want to clarify something because the video in brazing was cut. Did you introduce nitrogen when you brazed the lineset replacement and filter drier? I'm just wondering because the sytem is pumped down. Or you just brazed and let the vacuum pump do the suctioning of impurities/oxidation left inside? Will be taking notes of your response for my future reference in the field someday. Thank you.

@KoolinwithKrauss 10 ай бұрын

When I brazed unit back I used nitro flowing, I’ve shown it in previous videos, not to extensively but usually just to show that I’m doing it. But when unsweating the copper I don’t use the nitro 👍🏻 hope that helps and clarifies it a bit!
