Good video we repair leaks all the time I work in a mill setting and most of the older ac units have been patched on. There in the process of buying new equipment all the time so we have our work set out. But I like the job so it's all good lol

@Jeepjones85 Liking the job is everything.

DrZ,why wasn't the filter dryer properly mounted,rather than just laying down with the bracket on it.

[DrZarkloff]

@MrTERRYD55 There's a lot of imperfections out in the real world. You never know who worked on the machine before you did.

why didn't you change the actual scroeder valve itself? shouldn't it stop the gas before it gets to the cap?

[DrZarkloff]

@paullee1000 King valves rarely have valve stems.

[Swedediesel]

very often the king valve has 2 1/4" ports, where one of the ports is the service port that can be closed off by backseating the stem, and the other port has always connection to the input side of the king valve, so a pressure switch or fan switch can be connected to it.

@bass4pro I use what's called a "service wrench".

[bass4pro]

Dr Z,what tool are u using to open and close the king valve? thank you, and God Bless you. YOU ARE A TRUE INSPIRATION TO ALOT OF US SIR.

@death2opposeme never heard of this... ill keep this in mind... maybe the units i've worked on been independent... ill pay more attention instead of going through the motions next time im on one of them. thank you
