Ok good thing I saw this video now I know I can put 3/4 pipe on to my coil that has 7/8 inlet and outlet thanks man.

Awesome vid. From the angle you can actually see the wall thickness.

Which raises another question,

Scotch brite, or abrassive cloth? Aye...

[DrZarkloff]

Either one will work. I usually use abrasive cloth.

@DrZarkloff ,Good post,100% accurate

[V8Jagnut]

good vid. nice old calipers you have.

[CityHunter84]

so copper is the best metal for keeping temperature?

[DrZarkloff]

Yes. However, steel will heat up faster than copper.

copper tubing for hVAC work is commonly known as Type ACR, it is seamless, annealed,sealed, and dehydrated.

[DrZarkloff]

very good addition.

[BigVOLdaddy]

...copper tubing may also be used as a source of income. If done correctly, copper tubing can be succesfully eraticated from peoples trucks, and relocated to a recycle center near you, in which they will reward you handsomely for your efforts. In direct contrast to this however is the possibility of a lengthy stay in the county facility, accompanied by a hefty fine. So folks, when deciding which way to go with the copper tubing, choose carefully and consider the results of both scenarios.

I wanted a very very long curtain rod that one couldn't buy. My hubs used copper pipe and cut me one. Looks great.

[BigVOLdaddy]

Holy cow, that's an expensive shower curtain rod, couldnt you have just used some staple and duct tape to hold up that curtain?

[cozzyk]

It really wasn't that bad since we didn't have to use a thick one since the curtains are very light weight.

[DrZarkloff]

Works for me. lol

[parksyboy]

Great Video! I am still having troubles with this. The 2nd tool the callipers was cool. Where is a good place to buy one?? Thanks Parksy

[DrZarkloff]

You should be able to buy a set of calipers at Johnstone supply or any other HVAC parts store.

How do tell the difference between a pipe-fitter and a plumber?

You bury them up to their necks in crap (the clean version) then swing a baseball bat at their heads and the plumber will duck.

[DrZarkloff]

[Yourfriendbuddy]

Great video, I always love talking to plumbers about copper pipe sizes. I think the two trades use the two different measurements just to keep us all on our toes... LOL  Thanks for

[DrZarkloff]

It took me a little while to get used to the refrigeration way of sizing tubing when I first started HVAC.
