Nice job on lineset. Looks good! Don't like the electricians upsidedown wire nut though.
i never even looked to see if it said flip the bottle. its habit on 410a. the lineset was 80 linear ft i wanna say with 6 90* tubing bends and OD unit was bout 10ft under ID unit
Wow.... thats a long lineset.

Could very well be my answer as I'm still using some old bottles. When I get into the shop I'm going to look at all the other different color jugs cause I think there still may be one more. I think it's the dull orange one.......who remembers what they are by refrigerant numbers anymore!

I got a jug of Forane sitting outside the office door, it has arrows saying this (bottom) end up for use.
You could be right. I haven't bought a new 410 bottle yet this year. But I am out so I have to go get a 2nd mortgage and get some now Be nice not to.
But the new 410a bottles, at least some of them, have the dip tube in the bottom so liquid is always available. No I gotta go look in my van cause this is driving me nuts. I could be wrong but I could swear I don't have to invert my bottles.

The blend of refrigerants evaporate at different pressures and the liquid ensures that r410a is being charged and not one of the blends. Thats what I've read and the bottle does say to charge by liquid.

i agree. wasnt our electrician. i told my boss about it and he said they were a joke.
You need a new electrician. That UF wouldn't fly here, needs physical protection. Besides is looks like crap.
