I like how you put most tools back in their spot even if your going to use that tool again. You know exactly where it is then. I'm the same way.
I wish I would do the same, I end up with a tool hill!
Yeah, a good habit! I got tired of leaving tools, this forces you to take inventory.
That's what I always stress to everyone I know. "If you put everything back where you found it, you'll never lose anything again." And that goes for any item you use, anywhere you go.
Use your swaging tool to expand the 5/16 tubing slightly. Take care!
Way to save the day, Curtis! Or at least, the condenser! 😁
Great job,Curtis!
Thanks!
Well done Curtis, looks like you need a new Dentist inspection mirror soon 😉 😉 Au
Another great job. I was wondering about that condenser coil efficiency. It looks like it is covered in mud.
Great job Curtis! Been following you for over a year and always appreciate your videos! Keep up the great work!
Just the fear of dropping the screws in the leaves gives me the he bee jeebies
Agree, I wonder sometimes why some folks don't prepare the area before doing their work. I'd have moved all of those leaves first.
Another great repair! MO99 worked out good with this one!
Buen trabajo compadre, thanks for the video
Gracias
Nice work man 😊keeping them going.
Thanks
Excellent work curtis 👍
Thanks 👍
Great Repair video, Curtis! 👍🙏
Thanks! 👍
Split rubber tubing over copper helps prevent rub outs
I'll take the weather your having, here in southwestern Pa. It's 92 degrees and has been and will be for almost another week. This sucks 🥵. Have a good one.
I'm with ya. Live in Uniontown.
Our high for today was 94 degrees but with the humidity feels like 113. That's in Ottawa, Ontario. 550 miles to the north. Supposed to cool back down to normal by the weekend. The surface temp of the Alantic Ocean is in the 90's this summer, so ripe for storms and intense heat.
Good video Mr Curties n have a good day
Thanks, you too!
Another good job Curtis
Thanks
Good bad and ugly. That tubing setup from the factory...you decide. Nice work
Hi Curtis from England hope u have a great day😊
Thanks, you too
great work
Nice work 👍👍
can you say why you quite using the tru blue hoses thanks great job as always
Makes zero sense not to use his VP87 and dual Trublu hoses. We ran the ROI and put them on all our rigs. They literally pay for themselves in short order. I would have done a double or triple vac and blast nitro between to knock that moisture out. 500 microns isn’t deep enough. But I don’t use drop-ins and still only sell real R22 as I can still get it reasonably priced and I have a ton of it. One repair pays for the entire tank. But I guess we all do things differently.
The coils sure need some cleaning
Good Video. Good Job
Thanks!
Nice fix. Is your core removal tool okay?
Nice work!
Thanks!
Great job Curtis did you allow extra Freon for long line set? Thanks for the video
Hey Curtis, quick question if you have time. When I have a charging chart on a unit, I try to go by it as best as I can. Here in Texas it's hot, and most people I deal with keep their thermostats in the 70-72 degree range. Many systems won't get there, but some do. Either way, on many of the current Goodman charts, that puts me in the area of a 1-3 degree target superheat on a 100 +/- degree day. I have never seen you shoot for a superheat that low, and you made the comment today that you often look to 10-14 under normal conditions. Here we were taught to shot for 5 when we don't have a chart. If you have any wisdom to share on this, I would be appreciative.
Many won't? I live in North Texas and my son-in-law's last house plus the one he's in now sets it in the high 60s.
@@TM_Stone Your insulation will have a lot to do with it. My neighbor has an 18 SEER. She sets it on 70, and it never kicks off. It will only pull down to 72. 20 degrees below OAT is a common rule of thumb in the industry. Head pressures go up significantly when it gets over 100. I can normally keep all 4 of mine in the low 70s/high 60s, but they're heavy units.
@@AustinTaylor-b1o I agree 💯 with you. In the examples, the houses were brand new so good insulation. I don't think it's good they run it that low for many reasons. And to your point, it never shuts off, especially with the July and August heat.
Wow. Awesome that you can repair a small leak by soldering it. How do you make sure there is no refrigerant in the system?
Another efficient repair! Excellent work.
What torch tip are you using?
Think that’s a #3
@@HVACGUYdo you have a tip cleaner? Truly enjoy your videos
were you get that hose that was on that vacuum pump?
Appion
I was wondering if you ever use R427a as a retrofit for R22? I was was charge $63/lbs for my A/C system. Almost identical operating pressures as R22.
Curtis, What model number is that veto pac you have the torch set in? I looked at the tool list you have posted but don’t see it. Thanks, Matt
MB3B I think
@@HVACGUY Thanks dude
Do you like M099 better than 407c ?
Yes
What brazing rod are you using?
#6
Why don't you get yourself a cheap leaf blower so you have a clean and safe area to work in.
I was thinking the same thing
Thanks to Curtis and his video's I saved $439 replacing my own contactor...HOWEVER.. when I took off the panel to explose the electronics, I found the contactor just being held in place by the wires. There were no machine screws holding it in place(there were 4 sets of 2 screw holes for placement)..the problem is I have no clue what size machine screws go there to hold the contactor. Can anyone help?? I don't want to drill new holes with self tappers....
Brian Orr is disappointed in you
It's probably the same size as all the other sheet metal screws in the unit.
just a tip on brazing, when you open your acetylene tank to braze, rule of thumb is only crack the valve in case of emergency, you can shut it down instantly..
That coil could use a cleaning..
I am guessing the coil was clean, otherwise you would have cleaned it.
👍
👍🤘🤙
I notice you never clean your copper before brazing.
😎👍
Target superheat (fixed orifice) should be 3x (indoor wet bulb) - 80 - (outdoor dry bulb) / divided by 2
Didn't know this, thank you
Indoor web bulb return side
That’s still a moving number
@c21meister Sure is, as the indoor and outdoor conditions change. "Target" is what your looking for at the current conditions.
I see it on my digital gages. I just was not aware of the actual formula to find it
Why don't you use flux when brazing?
Most of the time it’s not necessary
We don’t use flux brazing, this is soldering with Stay-brite 8.
Pretty much a rub out guaranteed
Love your vids!!!! Can I get a shoutout on the next video?
A little dab will do you, guess for what product?
