York a coil & Goodman condenser unit

[kcmeyers]

Am trying to figure out orifice meter size on a York a coil which says you can go either R22 or 410. The installation manual specs does not have the model # listed....it is G2FD046H17G...the ones listed either end in (x) or (T)....the condensing unit is a Goodman 2 ton which specs for 410. Just rying to make sure I match up correctly...any suggestions????????

The orifice that comes with the condenser is the correct size. I'm not sure the Goodman orifice will fit a York coil. Why not Goodman & Goodman? If you mismatched manufactcurers to save a few bucks, now's when you pay the real cost.

thanks, i have what i have. the main thing i need to know is if i need to change the metering device on th york a coil. it is a 78 but am not sure if it needs to be changed to a 410 or something else. the specs in the manual only gives what it is not what i need to go to...??????????

Go to your supplier for advise

2 ton A/C on 4 ton mismatched coil, boy this is gonna cool and DEHUMIDIFY well :(

You need to call Goodman and tell them what you have.They should be able to advise you,any decent co should be able to advise you.
The answer may be however to match it with a Goodman coil.

who said it was a 4 ton York ??...you can adjust this York to 5 different tonage (sp). both units are brand new and when I spoke to both suppliers thay said you can make them compatable. the house is only 1,100 sq. ft. and the furnace was set to match that. i aint no brain trust but if both manufacturers are saying you can do this, why cant any one figure out the right orifice to go with ???????

Because both of your suppliers are full of snot.

There is NO correct orifice for that match up.

PS: That coil is not a good coil for any 2 ton condenser. Not even a York 2 stage 2 ton condenser.

Well K.C. I don't know where you're working but 2.0-tons seems like a lot of cooling for 1,100 sq. ft. to me. Did you do a Manual 'J' before you selected the equipment or just look at the oversized furnace rating? I still don't understand how you selected this match-up. You say you've got what you've got. That doesn't mean much but here's the bottom line. The compressor in the condensing unit can pump a fixed amount of refrigerant per second/minute/hour. In order to properly deliver liquid refrigerant to the indoor coil, Goodman has thoroughly tested the outdoor unit and prescribed a specific orifice size to be used with the indoor coil. THAT is the size you need. It came with the condenser in a little plastic bag attached to the unit in the vicinity of the service valves. Now if my memory serves me well, the piston that comes with a Goodman is for a Goodman coil and while the hole (orifice) in the piston is the same size by number as any other, the physical measurements of the piston are, I believe, too big to fit into the York fitting. So you'll need to go to the York distributor and get the proper sized piston that is sized to the piston number (it's also normally printed on the data plate on the condenser) for the condenser but it's York piston so it will fit into the fitting for the York coil.

In the future, you could save yourself a whole lot of aggravation by keeping the coils and condensers matched or at least matched enough so the pistons are interchangable. Wish you good luck. :yes:

Thanks skippedover,
That was the first logical solution I had all day..even from the suppliers.
I will not bore with how I came about this combination but really appreciate it when one will get past the obvious snafus or "should of's" and provide a solution of some kind that makes sense...hopefully the retrofit will not cost tooo much.
Thanks again!!
