Rheem two stage rooftop AC compressor change

We replace a copeland schroll compressor on a Rheem two stage roof top AC unit. The camera didn't get all of the ending.

Good patience on training new tech, when I started I bumped into a bitter older tech who would yell at younger techs for not knowing all he knew straight out of tech school.

[@JamesPettinato]

thanks

[@stevenorr8538]

I remember when my dad was my teacher. Now I'm the teacher. But I still learn every day. I used to say "my dad has tought me everything he knows. and I still know nothing". lol Thanks for the video.

[@JamesPettinato]

my Dad's favorite saying was "We have to make it while the making is good" (summertime), thanks

[@bubbajoe2553]

Years ago I was on the roof wiring some flood lights and this old boy was piping in a new compressor and he show me a old time pipe fitting lesson he took a 3/4 fitting put it over his two 1/2 inch fitting heated them up and then crimp them with his channel locks and then braze them together.. said he didn't have time to go shopping and had to make do.

[@Notyouraveragekid]

Nice job Jim

[@JamesPettinato]

thanks

[@iiiphase4606]

nice work Jim. thx for the upload

[@JamesPettinato]

thanks

[@stanpatterson5033]

Hate to criticize, but should be wearing safety squints in the vicinity of a spinning wire wheel. Sometimes the wires will break and fly off, not to mention flecks of debris that the process is stripping off. Otherwise, you do fine work and your newbie helper looks to be in good hands.

[@Mike-yh8tv]

Miss your videos...and i know the hvac/r community miss you also..keep up your excellent videos. Your one of mine good teachers. thanks

[@JamesPettinato]

thanks

[@fredmeebley]

Thanks for sharing, Jim

[@JamesPettinato]

thanks

[@dsp_fishing]

Good video, greetings from Spain of a refrigeration

[@JamesPettinato]

today I bought a 8" Klien adjustable wrench with an extra wide jaw, I was happy to see it was made in Spain, not china, so I bought it. My ancestor was Charles V, my son Dave has the Habsburg lower jaw, thanks

[@clarencec.b.martinjr.1227]

Jim you are excellent in your craftsmanship!👍But when it's come to safety very poor!!!! I stated that in some of your videos in the pass! But I understand you are set in them old ways you not going to change! But least look out for the young TECHNIAN he needed safety glass on handing that wire wheel also gloves on and let that compress down a rope!!!👍👍

[@JamesPettinato]

thanks

[@seank2531]

I get the feeling you shop at Sid Harveys. And you should check out our new Hilmor vac pumps.

[@ramyalani1784]

I do like your videos and teach me alot and thank you

[@JamesPettinato]

thanks

hello fellow, very good your videos.
I'm from Brazil and always watch your videos.
Hugs.

[@JamesPettinato]

thanks

[@ktheat]

I will never ream the tubing like that. Good way to get fragments in it. I know everyone has their way but I use a long nose pliers .

[@oswaldoluciocenzi1492]

admiro a maneira de trabalhar e o recurso de ferramentas que voces tem no BRASIL AS FERRAMENTAS sao muito caras porque tem muito imposto.Eu trabalho com refrigeracao. ABRACOS.

[@mrlara57]

Jim should the sight glass have a full column of refrigeration ? Just like walk in coolers ? I worked on a commercial a/c with a txv and my suction line didnt get cold till i had a full column had a subcooling of 18 degrees with a full column. Old trane unit 10 ton 2 stage.

[@oswaldoluciocenzi1492]

Congratulacoes JIM PETTINATO

[@jmrhvac4542]

another good video Jim

[@JamesPettinato]

thanks

[@jeffmoss26]

nice work as usual!

[@JamesPettinato]

thanks

[@stevewood5447]

Great to see you back Jim! Is the gentleman with you on this job an apprentice or relative etc? He can't get a better teacher! I'm going to hit Lowe's and get that medium bristle wheel, it looks like it will do the job. Could you have swedged the compressor opening instead of the pipe that fits over it? Thanks, Woody

[@JamesPettinato]

This is my son Dave, he's a quick learner and it's fun for me to spend time joking around with him. The compressor stub was swedged out to 1/2", I didn't want to crack it especially since it was so close to the compressor. thanks

[@jonhvac]

I believe the compressor stubs are copper plated steel. So they wouldn't handle a swaged to well.

[@stevewood5447]

Thanks Jon! Makes sense. Woody

[@GuchenIndustry]

very good !

[@JamesPettinato]

thanks

[@champa1169]

Do you have to remove the gas from both compressors or are they separate?

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Hi Jim will the hilmore hydraulic work on ACR pipe? Thanks.

[@JamesPettinato]

I anneal the hard drawn copper, then swedge it, thanks

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

+Jim Pettinato thanks

[@jonhvac]

Dave just get the iwiss already :)

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

+Jon HVAC I think the price is the same now. Around 250$

[@jonhvac]

Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C Well that's not a bad price then. I like saying to myself iwiss I had more money though :)

[@georgesiatos9848]

great work

[@JamesPettinato]

thanks

[@rowellparongan6218]

change the compressor without cleaning the system by flushing?

[@martinromancruz2337]

i congratulate exellent job

[@JamesPettinato]

thanks

[@Arieldny]

what was wrong with the compressor??? the pressures/temperature relation seemed to be ok!

[@mrlevelle]

great video were you been hiding havent seen tou in a while

[@AnthonyDookran]

dose the 10 ton unit here have a air filter ?

[@harrydickson4575]

New tech Jim

[@JamesPettinato]

my son Dave

[@zekemontgomery6678]

Every manufacturer should have external ports on rtus

[@smoothoperator1663]

what no safety glasses,brazing n spinning wire wheels on students?

[@user-ti7ud6ms3u]

oh boy training a new hire?

[@JamesPettinato]

my son Dave

[@user-ti7ud6ms3u]

+Jim Pettinato great! ya i like those rheem units for the ports on the outside i havent seen other brands do that its a shame. especially carrier, the whole cover has to come off and you have to rig it do air doesnt bypass the coil for your hoses.

[@angelcalderon9714]

were is Jim?

[@pmgodfrey]

How long does your co2 tank last for cleaning coils? I just got one today so I can do the units in my rental properties and was just wondering.

[@JamesPettinato]

depends how big and how dirty each condenser is, I carry 2 tanks in my truck and go through them this time of the year. thanks

[@pmgodfrey]

Thanks, Jim. It definitely lost some weight after cleaning three units. Two small R22 units and a taller 410A. I didn't think ahead to how covered in dust and dirt I'd be. :)
The contents are cheap to replace...tank deposit hit me hard though. :(

[@JamesPettinato]

getting dirty is fun, it looks like you did some work, thanks

[@pmgodfrey]

I'm fairly new to HVAC...not trying to start a business, but would love to learn the basics because I enjoy a good challenge and I think it'd be fun to work on my own equipment on my rental properties. I spoke with my neighbor tonight who does do HVAC. He suggested that I do not mix my gauge hoses do to cross contamination. I just purchased a Testo 550, which I love by the way, but was wondering if I should have different hoses for different gases.
I'm learning slowly. I love the troubleshooting aspect as well.
Have a great weekend, Jim.

[@JamesPettinato]

when you were little you were told there was a tooth fairy and an Easter Bunny and Santa Claus, then you grew up and found out they were fairy tales, well you can put hose refrigerant cross contamination with those fairy tales

[@jamesmclaughlinprimitivele4587]

helper now?

[@JamesPettinato]

my son Dave, thanks

[@franconero181]

Hilmor reamer? It is a SWAGING tool, not a reamer...

[@haydenb6221]

Oil on your fingers have to restart what a joke 😂
