Looks GREAT! To bad more contractors don't put as much pride
in their work as you do. Keep the pics coming.

Workmanship looks great but, could they have been installed a little closer to the ground. Those guys are going to be a bi#ch to work on.

Thanks for your comments guys!

Height was my first concern when I saw the eng design for this air handler installation. But the reason it is this way is that the return should be placed at the second level since the first level room is a service shop. This unit will serve the main office at the second floor.

So far, so good..let us know when it's on the pump!

I'm curious why oil traps at the A/H And why not have a service platform built around the A/H or the A/H suspended from the joist above. Everyone sees a different way of doing things, but you were there and know alot more about thier requirements and work conditions. It sure does look good and you should be proud of it. Keep up the good work and remember to think of the service guy.

Oh, why not an RTU ?

Service platform will be next. We will provide service as well. Oil traps were installed per the eng designer instructions.

You should always make the call they may say what do you think and you can tell them. In this case I would have said the trap is an unneeded (but harmless) restriction far away from the condenser. Sometimes the guy who makes the drawing is the new guy in the office and he's playing it way safe and over engineering. Sometimes the guy will tell you to F off and then you do it like its shown, but if your afraid that it wont work right have them send you a letter stating your concerns and thier answer. Then if things go bad you have protection and don't eat the job. There have been times i'm glad I had that letter or letters, it's amazing how peoples memories change when theres trouble especially if money is involved. The bottom line is you did nice work and if you ever have a problem on a job it's easier to correct then it would be if you did poor quality work.



We can't use PVC drains for commercial jobs, sure wish we could.



OH, I should have said in the unlikely event that you have a problem on a job. That sounds a lot better right.

I agree, traps are unnecessary at that point (no lift). Tell the engineer he should stick to his autocad and leave the piping to you.
But she still looks SHWEEET!

I agree with both of you guys. Will take note. Thanks for your comments!!

Nice job. Keep it up.

We also insulate the drain lines 12' from the unit.
