Found this just 10 days after a repair on a 5' section 4 1/8" suction line going through the ceiling. It's an R-22 system. 2nd picture is the wall facing the unit. Needed 3 gallons of oil as well. Third and fourth pictures are the "original" problem...condensor making noise...mmmm...where's the missing fan? Oh, here it is, in the condensor coil...still running!

That's the first isolator I've seen that looks like that. All the ones we use are braided.

Sorry, thought you were kidding.
Have you seen any vibe isolators not made by anaconda?

That would be a great place not to be when that launched. :cool:

Well at least you knew how much gas to call for the second time it dumped it's charge. :grin2:

Is that a factory, OEM installation of the vib-a-sorber flex tube? Is that a Carrier Condenser??

Factory job, Federal Pacific condensor, Carlyle compressor. Very old unit, maybe 18-20 years?
