No no no sir You are flooding back Copland requires a minimum of 20 deg compressor/system super heat That’s measured 6” from the suction service valve 7-10 deg evaporator s/h is good for a cooler At the evap I enjoy watching your channel Sporlan makes a packing tool that also fits the tiny LLS stem I have a dozen of them and will happily ship you one Thanks
@@randomrefrigeration4564 you’re right. I should have mentioned that. I have mentioned that before but I screwed up. Good catch. Email me and I’ll get you my info
Great video Rick. I had no idea they make a packing nut tool, but I do know they make a sight glass tool to tighten a sight glass on a compressor like that one. Happy turkey day!
Rick, it’s a pleasure watching your videos. Your expertise and ethics are refreshing. I was in the electronics repair business for 50 years and following the hacks who didn’t have a clue was frustrating. Well done, my friend.
24:25 better late than never.also why leave the LPS on the suction service vale,and not tie it to the suction line if empty,if someone closes that valve ,good by compressor.
Good stuff Rick. Didn’t even know they made a packing nut tool. I run the BluVac micron gauge because of the ability to rake psi. Thanks for another great video.
two small flathead screw drivers is the easy go to or make your own tool, but now they sell them. adjustable "pin" wrenches/spanners work too, but sometimes you run out of clearance space
Another great video, many thanks and always a pleasure to watch It is frustrating to fix one leak and think you’ve got it then find another later I’d bet, as resourceful as you are, you could re-pack some of those leaking valves (that one may have been too small) you already have the spanner tool and some picks from your tool box, just need the packing material The old ammonia guys know all about that and really the Freon guys from 60 years ago
Hey. What the low pressure should be on R134a refrigerator? My fridge has two compressors one for freezer one for fresh food. I know the low side on freezer should be 0-5psi. But not sure low side for fresh food compartment. Thank you!
1:44 - It looks like they don’t know how to crimp either. The jaws were in the wrong position on that coupling. It could also be that either the RLS tool was used on a Zoomlock fitting or the other way around. You should not get pooched-out lips on the ridge of the fitting after removing the tool. 13:32 - Clearly the tool was incorrectly placed onto the fitting! Pouting lips not allowed!
Hey Rick great job on another amazing video, just wondering if you ever considered 422d it’s a drop in for 22 and no oil replacement needed. Or what’s your thoughts on it?
That style of contactor is 'relatively' safe. The furnas brand ones with the solid face are better, but that little square is a bit too small for my fat fingers. I can barely push one of those in with a pinky finger. The cheaper White-Rodgers style with all the exposed metal tabs, I never touch with a finger. Always a screwdriver with a solid plastic handle.
lmao. probably 208V and he knows it, so finger bang-banging away. 🤣 many of us know the 120v tingle all to well. now that 277+ tingle is no bueno though.
not sure what brand he's using, but I say go for the oil based ones, as they tend to mark with the most density, always shake them up well regardless of brand/type.
Did you ever had a male brass flare part that got so crushed that the shrader core was impossible to remove? Sometimes people want to cold weld the Flares together 🙂
they probably used a flat end cap and cranked it tighter than snot vs an actual flare cap with taper seat. doing that rolls the top edge in and distorts it all to hey.
Possibly hot works permit, I know a lot of sites when being built are tight on flames etc that we work on, I do see the advantages of press fit if done correctly
My boss is pushing us to only use the RLS press fittings. I did a change out the other day and brazed everything and he sent me a nasty text about it. I’m not gonna stop doing it tho lol
Surprised you did that large of a repair on a 22 year old condensing unit. I would have pushed to replace the entire condensing unit and then the refrigerant change over along with changing out the txv to accommodate
This guy crys and crys your there for work do it and move on. He calls people lazy yet he complains about climbing up onto the walkin its part of the job lazy bumm.
Crimp connectors, one of the biggest leaks in the industry. Just like those guys who cannot properly braze.. We have the number of technicians who cannot properly crimp.. congratulations they’ve vented more leaks in more possible ways at a much greater expense.
Awesome way you explained why it’s a important to lube the back of the flare
No no no sir

Thanks Bryan! Happy thanksgiving to you as well!
Thank you for the words on the flare fittings.. the amount of tape, sealant, BS etc out there is rediculous
I've never had to convert anything yet, its good to see it done, and done well.
Thank you!

Agree! it’s a pleasure watching your videos. Your expertise and ethics are refreshing.
Thanks guys! I try to do my best. 🫶🙏
Great tech tip on saving the metal caps off old systems. I have a whole bag for caps
You always think of the next guy that has to work on the same equipment behind you.
Good refrigeration practice lasts a long time.
You’re 100% correct. It makes or breaks the longevity of the equipment.
Great video Rick!
Thanks man! Happy Thanksgiving
Yea, I was one of those old timers that used Leak Lock. I mainly used it as a thread locker and sealant.
24:25 better late than never.also why leave the LPS on the suction service vale,and not tie it to the suction line if empty,if someone closes that valve ,good by compressor.
Nice to have an indoor rack! Most of this bullcrap is on the roof.
This isn’t common at most places I work, just like you mentioned.
Rick, Another amazing project! Keep up the amazing work !!
Sooo perfect, best channel on lube tube.
Wow, thank you!

Good job Rick, Technicians that do shotty work keep you in business, same thing keeps me in business for electrical............
Thanks John!
Great video
Thank you and happy thanks giving

It is frustrating to fix one leak and think you’ve got it then find another later
I’d bet, as resourceful as you are, you could re-pack some of those leaking valves (that one may have been too small) you already have the spanner tool and some picks from your tool box, just need the packing material

Another awesome job, happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 😊
Thank you! You too!
Hey. What the low pressure should be on R134a refrigerator? My fridge has two compressors one for freezer one for fresh food. I know the low side on freezer should be 0-5psi. But not sure low side for fresh food compartment. Thank you!
I’d it’s a capillary tube it can range between 14-20 psig . That also depends where the box temp is at.
How do you decide on which refrigerant to use when converting a system?
Good job rick
That press fitting looks like RLS right? Always wondered if they were reliable
Excellent work rick👍💪✌️
1:44 - It looks like they don’t know how to crimp either. The jaws were in the wrong position on that coupling. It could also be that either the RLS tool was used on a Zoomlock fitting or the other way around. You should not get pooched-out lips on the ridge of the fitting after removing the tool.

That’s why I didn’t trash the tool. I know there is a lot of prep involved with those fittings.
Thanks again for one more master class . Happy thanks giving.
Another great video 🦾
Is ultra 32-3MAF your go to on Copeland compressors?
Happy a Thanksgiving brother. Thanks for the video.
Well, at least the leak was easy to find, happy Thanksgiving.
Oooo I need that tool for the receiver packing
Tried looking that one up online can’t find it.
They put the defrost clock there so the mice don't mess with it 😂
Hey Rick great job on another amazing video, just wondering if you ever considered 422d it’s a drop in for 22 and no oil replacement needed. Or what’s your thoughts on it?
I used it for AC work and did not like the performance. I’m not sure how it without work for refrigeration.
Great video. Good job and Nice work. Thank you for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving
Nice work Rick. Happy Thanksgiving to you to.
Great job! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Nice job ... Happy Thanksgiving ...Thx
You just finger blasting that contactor?!
Man, an insulated driver atleast Sheesh.
Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it

No 407a on the truck?

what paint pen are you using? mine never are as bold as yours.

Zoom lock is good to make fast repair. but new install common, brazing is not that hard.

👍❄️💪🇺🇸 nice work
They say that crimped is good for 10 years so will last longer than the equipment...
... no comment...
I really don't like the crimp connection crap, just seems half assed and cheap.
