HVAC - Relocating Air Conditioners

This is a follow-up to the More Boo-Boo's video. Refrigerant lines and electrical have already been roughed in the trench. Now it's time to reset the beasts.

Tight quarters. Don't bother telling me about clearances and code violations. I've done that dance with Lennox and they'll warranty my work. Building inspectors have no problem with my stuff because it looks neat and the electrical side totally conforms with building codes. Well... almost.

Regardless, I will not be called back on this one. The kick is up... and it's GOOD! Stick a fork in this job... it's done.

Thank you for that.

Nice work. You seem to come across quite a few systems to relocate. Do you dig trenches yourself or have the homeowner worry about that?

[PutSome5tankOnIt]

It's usually a landscaping crew that does the digging. One guy with a jackhammer (shovel bit) and two with shovels. They'll pound out an 18" deep x 12" wide x 25 foot long trench in 15 minutes.

Rubatex, aka armaflex, is 3/4" nominal wall. The insulation is 3/4" thick. What size do y'all use in your neck of the woods?

[PutSome5tankOnIt]

It's 3" Corex. The plumbing aisle at Home Depot is where you'll find it. Comes as perforated or non-perforated. Intended for use as drainage piping.

your brazing pretty shitty your bending prettty shitty your pipe on the other end wasnt insulated... and why did you ? use a 3/8 coupling?

[poland2010]
