I want to buy an ultrasonic leak detector to add to my arsenal. I want to know which one you guys think is the best and why. Thanks
I have a couple of tools that I have made over the years and use every day. I know that if they were available at the supply house, people would buy them because they work. I can make them, but don't...
I'm in San Diego, we don't have rust here, unless a vehicle is 20+ yrs old.
Mine is an 08 and it is6'6"
I have the long one, like the ups/fedex trucks, and my 24 fits in the back without any problem, I am just tired of tripping over it. I bought the sprinter because I used to work out of an astro van....
I agree 100%. Make it easy, and it doesn't seem like work.:)
I really don't want the ladders on the outside. The vehicle looks much better without them, over time it will be all scratched and dinged from putting them on and off ( just look at my prior vans)....
Look at this : http://www.alhansen.com/jetrack/gallery.htm
navigate to picture 4 and it shows that if you use 2 of them, you can go as long as you want. I only have a 24.
Thanks, but I am looking to strap it up on the ceiling INSIDE the van. I guess I should have been more clear. The product I am interested in is the jet rack (also on your link), or simillar product,...
I have a dodge sprinter and am looking for a system to store my extention ladder and 8 footer strapped to the roof on the inside. I was hoping someone here could give me so advice. I found the jet...
I looked at a manitowoc ice Q model ice machine on saturday. I don't work on many of these, so I am really rusty. Have been to their class twice and have all the service books.
Arrive on call,...
I find that tools like this come in real handy when you gotta crawl and can only take what fits in your pockets. But won't be a substitute for a good set of regular long shaft,magnetic,hollow klein...
I have the same bag. Actually, I am on my second one, first one wore through on the bottom and zipper finally broke. I really like the thing, but have to clean it out from time to time, as my tools...
Yes, that is the same one I was looking at, except through johnstone, but don't know if steel is "thin wall tubing". I plan on giving it a shot if I can't find anything better.
Asked by one of my restaurant customers to rebuild their grille. They already bought a rebuild kit for it and want me to do the labor. I took a look and found that it will involve bending some 3/16...
Unless it is a one use tool, I don't see the point of buying cheap HF tools. There is just something about using a good quality tool that makes your job that much easier, eliminates alot of...
Thanks for the heads up, I won't go near the tiff. Anyone have anything to say about the yellow jacket? saw one that is upgradable to programmable for about 220. About the same price as the other...
I am on the market for a new charging scale and was wondering what everyone is using. My old scale was a CPS 220. I liked it just fine. Saw Tiff 9025's on flea bay for about $100. Never owned a tiff...
Check to see if your filter is dirty, if not call a pro.
smaller duct = higher velocity. higher velocity = more noise...
If your compressor is truely "straining" at startup, this would definatly be unacceptable and shorten life of unit. If the unit is slugging at startup, there are a couple of possibilitys, you need to...
The infinity system is the best if you got lots of money to burn. Ultra comfort, high efficiency and super quiet. IMO most people would be just fine with the first system, depends on what you are...
I would go with the Fugitsu. These are really great units. I have installed quite a few and love the way they work. Also excellent quality, just as good or better than a mitsu and alot cheaper.
Never heard of dog urine doing this, although I am sure its possible. Seen sprinklers rott coils over time.
My money goes on overcharge with restriction. See it all the time.
A good install will include whatever needs to be done to get your system up and operating correctly. But in reality it includes whatever the contractor doing the work and you agree on.
True with a fixed metering device, but with a TXV shouldn't superheat be kept constant as long as unit has correct charge. Suction pressure can change, TXV will throttle open or closed to adjust line...
What was your superheat reading?
If the lineset isn't super long, then its probly overcharged.
Yeah, I see your point. I will be carefull in the future and will apply for the professional forums when I get enough posts.
Required superheat changes acording to conditions. Also a 13 SEER unit may be equipped with a TXV which should requlate superheat and you would need to measure subcooling to charge correctly. There...
Entire condensing unit or entire system. Most of the time problems like this can be traced back to improper installation techniques. Make sure the contractor you have doing the work knows what he is...
I have read the rules and understand that there is no DIY allowed. Could you please elaborate on this subject. Nowhere in the original post could I detect that this person intended to DIY. I felt...
I am looking at my literature given to me by Fugitsu. Wall mounts down to 9000 BTU. Cooling only and heat pump. 115V. Models ASU9CQ, ASU9RLQ
I should know, as I went to an all day class on these a couple of months ago, but cannot remember. I will go through some literature I have and let you know. I have installed a couple of these units...
Check superheat 6 inches from compressor.
?????? What did I do??
A good way to check a split system is to pump it down, then disconnect compressor and let fan run for a couple minutes to subcool refrigerant to ambient temperature, then check pressure. It should...
It is difficult if not impossible to evaluate a system when run outside of designed parameters. It can be run for short periods of time in under both conditions you described, but you will not be...
Most times if a compressor fails prematurly, there is a primary problem causing the failure. If primary problem is not addressed, compressors will continue to fail. Secondly if first was a burnout...
Everyone will probly have a different opinion on this one depending on their experiance. In my opinion, goodman is getting better and better every year. I would not hesitate to get one. The price...
Look into the Fugitsu units. Very good and alot less money than a Mitsu. Also, the smaller units go all the way to 18 SEER.
To be honest, I have never encountered a leaky reversing valve. Seen plenty of check valves leak though, and you get a low suction, low discharge and major floodback. And you are right, if unit lines...
The only thing that will give you a high suction and low discharge is a bad compressor, no other problem will do this. Would also explain why the unit wouldn't pump down all the way. As the suction...
Its in 3 in corrigated but on one end is directly buried in at least a few inches of dirt, I didn't dig it up to see.
Hi, today I was working on a residential split system. The lineset runs outside then is buried for about 15-20 feet under a sidewalk before popping back up near the condensing unit. I have a 20...
