30" ha! Kinda pissed at the supply house cause all they have is 30x30 and 36x36 now. Some of the odd sizes were handy, and the smaller were nice for the little units. If the outdoor needs a 36" pad we usually use solid concrete pads.

Thanks, All the bigger systems get a base under them. Bigger as in 3 ton plus usually. I would rather use the bigger filters. Got 16x25's too. They are good filters. I changed 2 that had been in since 07 yesterday. Furnace still clean as a whistle inside.

That's EXACTLY what it is. Nice job!

They can make about anything that will fit on a sheet of metal.

We have a layout table also, your fittings look like the ones I make, sled boots and stuff. I don't do to many radius bends anymore since we don't have a roller anymore. We also don't have a plasma table which would be nice.

It will blow out around the fitting? The 2 are not glued or even a tight fit. Never had a drain issue and have done a ton of these the same way. There is a trap inside the furnace on the collector box. No pressure or vacuum there.

Looks great. Good job.

What about the positive air pressure?

So jimmy how do you layout your metal? By hand or machine?

But gravity makes a good point and wonder what your thought of positive air pressure in evap condensate against negative pressure in fau?

The cond line is very short and sweet but condensate from coil in cooling could fill hx in fau?

Oh and ive got some pictures to get online from this month......so I'm sure there is plenty for me to get beat up over.

Everyone is a critic lol. I have a sheetmetal background and Jim puts me to shame, everything is clean as a whistle.

One thing, Don't you need a relief piped in the condensate?

Equal transititions, elevating the furnaces (3.5 ton and above), "E-Z flex" filters and line sets run the way you ran yours.

Very nice. What every homeowner deserves. P.S. Did you get rid of that old gas cock?

No just a customers. I have an evolution zone system.
Yes, they got a new shutoff valve.

Man I wish I had, or could find someone with, your metal skills. I love the lineset

Looks great, we have a plastic conduit bender, basically a box with heat elements, works good.
