 We've got some many split here. They're nice for certain situations, but I don't know I just don't like working on them because they're kind of a hassle. It seems here's what I've noticed so far. My lines are not really Temping at all sounds like the compressor is cranking along. I don't really feel any major heat coming out of it It's running on the inside And it's just right there literally on the other side of this wall It's kind of warm over here So it's hard to tell if that's actual heat coming from the unit or if it's coming Just off the wall going to get the gauges out and see if it's got a refrigerant issue or what It's not really cold at all Something's odd going on I'm wondering if it's a leak Lot of oil on that there I noticed seems like more than just what you would have spread on it. Oh That ain't good It's a bitty spider goes up the hose Damn negative 10 At this time we're going to I don't know I about feel like cracking loose the flares because there's they're almost always the late source What sucks is that very easily could be on the other side inside Feels like it's on there fairly tight probably cranked on with a 14 foot wrench. Oh Come on really I Didn't even hardly turn it Yeah, I don't think this one got flared very good If you've got a problem there Chuck That could be a problem. You've just lost me on all flare joints now. I was just good. Just take ease off. I See something like that. You've just lost me at. Oh, oh That one looks like it was somewhat done, right? So did we just maybe kind of get it close and then forgot that they didn't do it? I mean what's What exactly is the story here? I Don't know. I Mean I feel rough edges. So it didn't get oiled. I can about guarantee you that Makes me want to just go ahead and chop it off redo it But I only got so much line there to work with so my master cool eccentric kit, and that's the part number there Not a fancy tool kit the burning tool Cutter nice simple flaring block Where I screwed up and punctured the wrong side twice Missed on that one and wrong side on that one But it does a good flare every time. It's a centric old meaning it wobbles it not rocket science been around for a while They say when in doubt cut it out Just cut this little piece off here. I'm just start over unfortunately, I Really don't want to hank it off the wall to know this because honestly I don't have the tool to hold the thing unit up there, and I don't have anybody helping me There's that Guys, it's just very basic right here. It's a deburring tool Go around a few times and get that edge corner out of there Get out which I think we got it Got it there like that now chuck this turkey up Back it out so you can see it's wobbling wobbling there should be able to see it wobbling There's a yellow jacket one guys really like I tried using it that thing was I didn't like it And I like yellow jacket tools, but that that yellow jacket one. I did not like it at all And then the Hillmore's got a nice one. It's got a little finger thing that kind of Helps you get it perfectly flat because I played with this particular tool multiple times And tried it flat not flat a little bit over because my old tool used to have to go over a little bit and Not so much with this one, so let's get this thing lined up kind of awkward where I got it at Got all this rubber crap in the way. This is how you end up screwing up your flaring block There we go got the stitches out So that's kind of nice Let's go ahead and some people might oil it I'll do that when I flare it, but I don't really do it when I'm Alright, I'm flaring it when I'm actually tightening it down and then it should pop right there Here it click I quit doing its thing, so this is not Anything new for some of those out there but obviously And it looks like I might have moved a little bit on my flaring ball out so I may have to straighten that out a little bit and choke it up a little bit and Get it Looks like you might have got it. Yeah, it actually looks like a Pretty nice 45 degree flare to me The essential pouring help the purpose of that is to slowly round it out versus my old Yellow jacket that still works great from 90 something just go straight in there and got this right here Let's see how it fits up on that Look at that. Look at this potatoes. See how the head fits perfect on that flare Yeah, that's what it should be Let's go ahead and get some oil on that or we can put some nylog Which nylogs bad it'll cause it to leak. I Don't believe that so we're just gonna put a little nylog on the backside And we're just gonna rotate that a little bit so that it spins on it Now you could put a little coating here on the face surface so that It smooths out but some manufacturers says no no now don't do that This one here put a little bit on that one same thing pulled away a little bit spin it Look at that fancy Nancy now the Face of that brass a little funky like a monkey Let's give it a little kiss here and see how this goes. I'm gonna put this on with another video I did it was the same freaking thing. So anyhow, let's get this thing on there Which like I said that one You know what that one there if you look at the flare It actually mushrooms out past the head a little bit. So I'm gonna go ahead and cut it I'm not gonna deal with it. Um, once my name goes on it Because I just seen some posts today somebody seen a wire sticking out of the top of a Condenser and I don't know what you guys are charging to fix stupidity, but Generally if you got the wire sticking out of the unit You're gonna charge them that much money that they have to think about fixing it Doesn't take anything to tie up the wire. Yeah, look at that. I'm sitting there trying to do that and it's It's not even wanting to work on that flare barely fits in my pocket on it That's a little goobered Even if you wipe the goober out of it. I mean, it's not horrible, but you can see some scarring in there I'd be afraid that's gonna cause it cause a leak and Most of these many splits do not have any filter dryers in them and it's gotta be clean Gotta be clean captain clean There we go Hopefully I can get the tool in there because that's hell of a bend They would have used a bending tool it could have got right in there unfortunately We have to try to wiggle this thing back Make some room the block and everything to get on there It might be as good as I'm gonna be able to get it. I don't know because it's gotta Get through there. It's not what I like to do. I don't know how I like to do it I'm gonna have to loosen it up Try to slide it on eyeball it All because we got goober tiff goober goobertistic going on here No reason for the goobertistic See if we can eyeball that while it's inside the thing. That's the only thing bad about this device now, hopefully I can get it out once I got the Freakin thing on there. I may not be able to that would suck Let's go ahead get that there There we go Looks flush and flat to me Yeah, one you can actually hook on your drill Always go a couple extra turns make sure it's completely rounded it out my own personal preference You're not gonna hurt it any because it's not compressing it Yeah, it's gonna be Really tight to get it off here. There we go There we go that fits Yeah, so it's gonna ship send it and get this honker on there first Yeah, this is a brain dead repair guys, but unfortunately it was a brain dead hook up and for some reason, you know here We are doing it again So obviously it ain't too brain dead I'm gonna kind of hold it in place that way You got the mating surface flat against it not offset or anything like that And then we'll hit it with a torque wrench I use a Digital hill more I went through a bunch of different books Quarter three eighths half five eighths three quarter 11 pounds 27 pounds 29 pounds 55 75 pounds I like this because I didn't have to have one of weird heads But anything bigger than what I've seen I won't be able to work with it So I think downside on it plus it's digital. So if you drop it it could possibly damage it But so far it's been good enough. I don't use it that often And because I don't use it that often I take the batteries out of it because Last thing I want is one of them to corrode Screw my tool up Oh, that's the reason why I have put a nickel in there for a reason that nickel fits perfect into that groove And I use that marker there to kind of mark where On the cap you need to put it out before you lock it into place So you kind of We shouldn't turn a little nickel works out great And since I've already got this programmed three eighths Is 27 pounds so we'll do the memory until we hit 27 pounds There it is let's go ahead and do this three eighths you can see the you can see the Bar graph they're getting closer and here the audible Okay, we're good there on that one jump up to the Seven eighths I mean it says seven eighths but really it's closer to three sixths I don't want you to call that because I can go much bigger That one there I'd say is closer to three quarter and because that's really five eighths copper But it says seven eighths here because that's plumbing fitting. I bet you let's go with the Five eighths, which is 55 foot pounds I just have this funny feeling it's not The bigger one there we go Do one more times double check it really did not reinforce this thing very good Okay, we're good Now unfortunately do we go inside And check the inside stuff It appears to me that it pops through the side of the wall We'll hop on a ladder. We'll get up there and see if it's punched through. I think that's what it is Unfortunately, I don't trust it. I'm gonna go ahead and take these apart and double check them So there's the drain line It kind of just a little bit kind of It's into the Drainpiper that one looks better Maybe there's just a mistake made down below a little bit there and Smear on the back side. That's that's the part that really does the work You know They get a little little smoosh because as that smooshed up against there, that's right smooshed Smooshed is a word here in the north. It's got to Smoosh it together a little bit I guarantee you this much. It's better to have some nylon on there to have than it is to have no oil at all I guarantee you that you can take that to the bank and Deposit it Yeah, that's one of them ones right here. I don't know if I trust that I've done it both directions. Yeah, I don't like how tight it's getting. Yeah Something tells me that was damaged Yeah, that was damaged It's not tightening up correctly Something's not right with it. Let's just put it that way I don't know if it was crushed. What exactly's going on, but it ain't working So it's new guys Here's exactly the reason why we've got that little groove right there So you can put that flare fitting right there It's good cut this off and we'll redo it which Luckily, it's just right out here. It's one of the easier ones I've seen. I don't just jackery That's got jackery to it and then this backwards a little bit so we don't get the flare or the shavings in there Yeah, guys, this right here is the dj osmos action camera I've had way too many problems with gopro gopro is garbage. They are constantly Overheat shut off lock up I had all kinds of problems with the seven and i'm here in the same problems with the nine If you're in the iso higher than 1600 you will get snowy picture Like uh, you'll get what noise in the picture, which is what they call it That there is a beautiful flare It's what's nice about this tools, you know any Tim the tim dick harry and bob can freaking get a good flare If they just follow the normal procedures now. Yep there I I usually make a mistake and forget to put this stupid nut on there but we've got that Juiced on the back side We got a little smidget on the flare head Let's go ahead and get that back together and see how that does now That's 22 pounds. I'm stopping there. I really don't want to jack with this at all. I really really really don't Now it looks fairly okay. Put a little lube on the back side of that nut There we go. That's the way I wanted to do it That's why we're going to do it. Yeah, we'll fit on there like that just got to do Pressure test shut make sure There's no leaks Yeah, she's hotter and cooked goose Rainer hot and no protection ain't that pathetic This thing wasn't smart enough out of all the things it does wasn't smart enough to protect itself from running in a vacuum Not very impressed You got discharge sensor here that had it been hotter and heck it should have known that that wasn't right Ridiculous got outdoor sensors all that crap and it didn't have any idea I'm not seeing any other ports in here I'm Just worked on one of these not too long ago and freaking didn't have one Usually they hide one in here. This one's actually got an inverter board though. The other one didn't have one Pump pump pump it up a few times. I actually pull one hose I usually don't like it, but it's all we can do today This will put it like that Got my plug all there so people can complain about it. So we call widow maker I actually got a fuse in mine got the light there so I can actually tell whether it's 120 or 240 or 277 Been using it since I started. That's how everybody did it when I started. I have yet to blow up anything Uh, the only thing you can screw up is when you get into the bigger commercial stuff and you're on 460 and you aren't paying attention And uh, you hook on the one leg into ground and you're going to get 277 in your pumpy and it's going to go smoky She's a drop in which is a good thing We get past some of the glare there We'll let this thing run until we get to the happy zone and uh, we'll recharge this thing back Which it looks like it holds 5.73 pounds of r410a at least it's uh current refrigerant This is a heat pump Got some reversing valve right in there So we got to make sure we get this back insulated up. I don't want to lose any heat out here Cruisin on down To the valve off just to see if she kind of holds where she's at and see how much valve fast it goes back up It's already slowing down. That's a good sign better do this thing You can see a big difference between Pulling on a compressor and just a line set. We're at 16 minutes 15 minutes And we're just at 600 500 ish area Then all of a sudden the compressor lets go of a big refrigerant bubble That's trapped or moisture bubble. It's in the oil and You know as you valve it off there you can see why it doesn't matter that you pull it to 500 It's whether you stay under which has been preached multiple times with there's a lot of people out there that still Don't realize that so I think that's reason why we still mention it quite often Yeah, there's thousands still rising up This thing sucked in moisture. Unfortunately, like I said, they don't run filter dryers on these They must have miracle oil in it or something Because uh, there's no way to dry it out and uh vacuum pumps only gonna get so much of it Have a feeling we're gonna stall out. There's just uh too much moisture in the oil That's just not gonna let go Not gonna let go We've got That all back together up there on top. Everything's tucked in Uh, it should drain into that pipe now. I got it wire tied over to it So it can't move away the pipe comes down to there. So that's draining out down there which Is good. It means it's passed all the other stuff that is some funky looking. I haven't seen that the mc cable shielded mc cable, I guess It's kind of looks like a antenna wire for like a cb radio or something crazy Things happen. It's been corrected. We're getting your vacuum. We're gonna recharge these people back up and going We're at 30 minutes down to 300 Give a little turn get the stuff out from under the ball valve and see whether it holds very good or not Much better than what it was, but it's still rising up rather quickly And it blows past the 500 magic number At five microns a second lost So we'll have to get this a little bit longer. It comes out to about five pounds 11 ounces area So we've got that weighed in We need to Let it set for a little bit since we had to dump liquid all in there Give it a chance to boil off and then uh We'll kick this thing on and see whether or not she runs which it should Because it was pumping really good and a nice negative like it was doing And as always made sure not to remove our schrader core tool Before we got pressure in it By a good vacuum gauge. It don't matter if you get pressure on it I haven't even had an oil log symbol on that thing. I don't but maybe once if that It uh, definitely a quality difference I've never had any problems other than one one failure after about what eight years It finally started acting up and uh The owner actually took care of it and fixed it for like 35 bucks completely Rebuild it for me. So that's got something to say about the company. That's a good company Can't say he'll do that on everything but he took care of me and not knowing, you know, I didn't And say who I was or anything like that. I just said hey I uh Love your tool and it's got problems and what can you do for me? and uh That's what you end up doing from what I heard. I found it on the on the Forums that's how I found out about it. And uh, that's how I decided to buy it because people had said he had done that before Whether he wants to have anybody know that or not. I don't know but all the same I think it's a testament to the the way he backs his product, which I'm pretty impressed Are there she blows I don't think we're working on 134a. So let's go up to 410 55 evap and dropping Give her a little bit here and see what it does But I think we might have gotten it nothing uh Reflaring all the flares and uh, evacuating until you got all the moisture back out and uh, recharging it back to factory spec And it works again really don't like it when I see the evaporator dropping that low But I have no control over it. That's getting worse It should be nice to know what the high side was doing But they didn't put a port on for that not overly impressed here. Hopefully it starts to come back up here Like I said, just turned it on Watch and see what it does. I'm pretty sure this was an ex-v 20 degree evaporator Now she's starting to speed up I suspect that you know it starts seeing that cold temperature And it'll try to overcome it. So it's charged to spec This will run it and we'll find out I'm not going to recreate the wheel I'm gonna put this thing back together and uh, we'll see how it does At this point or you nothing more to do with it. I guess we'll find out if it doesn't work Not a whole lot you can do this side of the building is pretty much out of the sun So we're about 90 out here. It looks like And the war temperature is 75 And up there we're at 58 57 56 so 66 76 About 19 degrees, which seems a little low, but it's also on high speed Well, this is one of those things about I don't like about the minisplits Ain't a whole lot you can do about it Ain't like you can hook a computer up to this And tell it, hey, I want you to open up this far. I want you to do this I want you to do that. There's absolutely no control over it. It does its own thing It's got some basics that you can do. I'm just not a fan of it I don't like the way the evaporators get after they've been running for a you know while not being properly cleaned They're great for when you don't have any other options. You don't have duck work stuff like that not saying they're junk I just don't like them I'll take a regular system any day But the moral the story is Do proper flares properly lubricate properly torque And you won't have any problems Other than that, that wraps this one up guys.
