Still the most. Entertaining hvac guy on TH-cam! My man !!
Thank you Mike.
Beautiful sunrise!!! Makes me want to start drink early...
Your city has some epic scenery , I understand why you would get up so early to witness that 👍
I'll take a good ol' fashion compressor change out over a cap tube any day!
Thanks for the pics
Awesome views of the sunrise and the Ocean
Brought to by... who gives a fuck 🤣🤣🤣 you're gonna make them sponsored guys mad
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My Fieldpiece SMAN 360 reads vacuum in microns. Also, how I do miss living near the coast. I’m “stuck” in the high desert for now, though we do have some pretty epic sunrises and sunsets. No ocean waves though, just waves of dust when the wind picks up as it often does. 😀
Don’t know if anyone has caught this yet but If you notice on those gauges it was reading -14.5 PSI not inches of mercury. Not different transducer just that they don’t switch units. -14.7psi is a perfect vacuum at sea level. For reference -14.5psi = -29.5 inhg. Very odd choice for a refrigeration gauge set.
Was going to comment this, they do seem to be working
It’s in the comments and the testo converts for you is what I could not explain 🤣🥹
Goowd Stuff Brother Dave. Stay safe and be well. Awesome view for 1st thing. I lived on the Eastern shore beach for 14yrs.. never a dull sun rise or sunset.
Thanks for the ride Dave
Thanks for watching
That intro 😜. Yeah those Elitechs will only show as low as 14.5-14.7 . Nice NorCal sticker . Good video Dave
Thanks Dave
Good stuff
On the view
Very impressed
Thank you
Beautiful sunrise
Good little vid ... Thx for posting ... Nice Sunrise by the way ...
Amazon has some bad a** carts that fold up flat and they fit behind a seat or pretty much anywhere. 300lb rating. I have 2 on my truck and they have been a life saver.
I really like my new Testo scale with the solenoid valve. You can input how much refrigerant if doing by weight and it'll stop right on the money...or you can charge by SC,SH or target SH
Love the intro Dave.🤣👍
Great video Super Tech Dave!
Swagin' an' sweatin'!👍😄 good job!
One shot had a hotel California feel to it .. good stuff man 👍
Epic of epics.
Epic sunrise.
Indeed
That intro 😜. Good video Dave
I 2nd that💦
@@jonhvac 💦
Shots lol
@@Freonleon lol
I really thought Dave had written a song named _Knee Pads in Pants_
Work on who gives a fuahhhh😂😂😂😂
Great stuff man. Please don't forget to wear the safety glasses while brazing.
for sure! my buddy got hot solder splattered in his eye before, one drop came off an elbow and hit top of "wet" new water heater, it turned into random micro beads that flew everywhere, including directly into his eye, in which he got lucky and was wearing disposable contact lenses! it fused onto the lens and destroyed it, still made his eye sore. that was around 1996.
Get one of those folding metal wire carts. Like 200$. Takes little space and can hold 200lbs. Replaceable casters too
Beautiful place
Thats a nice catch on the product review... something just looking at it without using would have missed
Beautiful sunrise! Do you check charge on something like this? Resi guy.. La buena vita!
"Do the tippy shuffle"
Yes sir
👍
Do you reply the captube dry in does?
Looks beautiful where you live but ill stick with my cold dark wet old England 🇬🇧 😜
My mom is from Nottingham
@@NorCal-refrigeration I'm in Lincolnshire just north from Nottingham, which is a beautiful place too.
I got the same gauge i. the lowest it will go 14.5 , But they’re pretty good gauges
So far so good.
Thanks for the video. Hopefully you and yours had a good one. Do you ever have a need for hard copper? Just wondering.
I use it on installs
Cool
Just curious, I just picked up a oxi-acetylene setup from Harris, I have a #3 #1 tip trying to get dial in before I burn up a customers system. I only have experience with a turbo torch
gather scrap pieces of various size and practice! much better to waste some rods and tubing than wasting expensive equipment and parts.
probably wise to test on used/scrap filter-drier and valves also.
Hi bro from west Alabama
When changing out a compressor do you also change capillary tube to avoid any restrictions in cap tube?
I’ll back blow them. If it’s good I’ll roll the dice. If not it’s change out time.
@@NorCal-refrigeration 20 years in hvac, I'm 6 months in refrigeration and I've learned that anytime you replace a leaky evaporator, might as well replace capillary tube if factory charge gives you a low suction psi.
@@alejandrorocha4693 true.
@@NorCal-refrigeration hey dave , we met once in person at a Starbucks, you were riding out to a motorcycle event in morgan hill. Quick question, when you come across a compressor with bad valves or a locked rotor and you back blow the capillary tube, do you have a method where you add a certain amount of psi and time it to see if it leaks to high side?
@@alejandrorocha4693 no it’s just from doing it so long.
Do you add refrigerant in the low side while it’s off if the high side doesn’t take anymore?
You can go low side
👍💪🇺🇸🙏🐕 nice vid. Where Can u dispose of old compressors ?
Our scrap guy takes them for the copper

Do you have a link for your nor-cal merchandise?
I don’t have any gear yet. Should I get some going?
Yes! T-shirts!
the gen 1 testo 550 will show up to 29.83 on a vacuum....the gen 2 version i bought only shows -14...very strange...the gen 2 supposed to be newer technology and costs alot more and i have nothing but problems with it...i went back to the gen 1 and they work just fine. Im going to send the new ones in for warranty service.
I’ve heard nothing but negative about gen 2. Testo.
it seems like they don't much care to convert from psi to inches of mercury, because you should be using a micron vacuum gauge anyway ;)
@@throttlebottle5906 who’s got time for Smurf boners and micron gauges😂😂
@@NorCal-refrigeration true that, balls to the wall hustle speed to get jobs done!.
lol start voice. 🥳
👍👍👍
😎😎😎 cool
Where can I get a NorCal sticker??
What’s your address
What kneed pads you use? Comfortable under the pants all day?
They came with the pants.
@@NorCal-refrigeration which pants?

This isnthe stuff we forgot from school, if you went. When you convert -14.5 PSI its 28.9 IN.HG.
That is correct I was trying to explain how the testo converts automatically and failed at that 😂😂
@@NorCal-refrigeration Lots of know it all’s on here Dave that want you to be aware of how smart they are. Between you and the HVAC guy I get most of what I need. Thanks Dave, I appreciate your positive attitude and fun personality
who remembers all those numbers. ( google lol)
👌👏👏👏👏👊👊👊😆😆
Dave, how much you getting paid by who gives a duck 🦆 🤣
They send out the middle of a doughnut as often as needed. 😂😂😂
@@NorCal-refrigeration Damn...you get all the ooey gooey sweet middle goodness, player🤟😉
