So Ive been in the trade for 21 years now, worked on nearly everything at some point, as well as my own business.
I even had the chance to work on (2) Holland furnaces which was crazy interesting...
Yes, those are the ones I'm speaking of.
You put a 5/16 adapter to your manometer hose to fit on it. It uses, I think a 5/32 Allen iirc to crack loose the little plug. I haven't seen a universal...
So just wondering if the newer style little needle plugs have made their way to the universal category yet. Much prefer that style gas valve. Quicker and easier.
And I guess I would define...
Scenario:
*Geographically: mountains/cold climate

The supply will...
It's a potential. I've been a tech for 20 years now. Here are my thoughts in no specific order.
1-most units can be fine but sometimes you get unlucky with a problematic unit.
2- with...
So I think I am trying to decide now in between the uei em 152 and the Klein et180. And I guess the teso 510 maybe too. I like how the Klein has the option to isolate P1 vs P2 vs if you have the 2...
That's exactly what broke on mine too, the clamp. Ya I was upset.
I have the TPI DC710 combustion analyzer. A fraction of the cost, does everything you could want. It's Bluetooth so no controls,...
That's about all I could tell too but the 201b is like $60 more. I like buying top of the line stuff but not when I can't tell what additional features I'm paying for.
For nearly 20 years I've had fp stuff. I think their last good meter was the sc56 which was prob around 2013. The meters have just gotten too big, the combustion analyzers don't have the features I...
Moving away from fieldpiece stuff.
Can't figure out the difference between these 2 manometers.
Thank you
I don't even have permissions to PM. Not sure if you have a minute to do a solid for me to contact Special-K?
So slight update, the trid psi was pegged out past 75 psig. Not sure why. I opened...
The tank is at 12 psi. This is dedicated boiler, not a combi unit. Also this is on a well application if that matters.
Fwiw I used to be a pro member. Not sure why I'm not now... Moderators???...
1st let me say I am a 17 year resident/commercial tech, though this question may sound quite homeownerish as where I have lived in the past I always had central heat and cool, and moved to this area...
My gue definitely not a failed sensor, this analyzer won't even power up if the slightest thing is not right.
Did a smoke test and it failed that as well.
Forgot to mention. So something is def...
Go to a call, Bryant furnace, 10 y/o. Tripped roll out. Reset it and watched furnace. Flames seemed to float a little. I just happened to touch the burner compartment cover and yikes, had to be at...
So basically just need to stick to the good ol fassion btu requirements for each room. I got that part. I guess I'm just trying to figure out though is there a method to how close or far away you...
So bought a new house, has a boiler no AC which is no good.
Basement is all fine, just gonna install a carrier ducted 40MBAAQ24 air handler mini split system. Ductwork up in attic for top floor. ...
looks like itll do the basics yes.
theres no backlight which is a bummer.
another good meter you could look into is a UEI DL389 or DL429.
really good customer service UEI has too.
I started out...
decision has been made.
I was actually about to get the UEI 429, thankfully they made it a lot quicker that past models and didn't seem sluggish at all.
for the few brief seconds I was playing with...
the 375 is seemingly a step up from the 902 without temperature function which isn't too important to me, though 375 doesn't have micro amps for flame rectification.
hmm, never heard of amprobe.
whats the deal with those?
are they a decent quality meter?
seems like they try and pull what fluke does.
gotta get multiple models to get all the stuff youre...
So my fp sc56 is about to get moved to my commercial backpack and be my backup meter.
The problem, I am very dissatisfied with the amp meter options available currently.
I don't want a bunch of...

the fieldpiece sc57 has a function where it will sense amp draw in milliseconds so it doesn't
start faster than the meter can read. good for true start up amp draw.
We install 95% furnaces in attics all day long.
Your electric rates are probably much cheaper than here in CA, gas over electricity is always the way to go.
Its much cheaper, and less wear and tear...
1st of let me say I do not do install and rarely use snips.
However I do have a set for the few times a year I might need them.
They are just cheap ace hardware brand, but they just cut right...

You are absolutely right.
I forgot, NPT is no good.
You need flared fittings.
I'd edit that post so I don't sound stupid but the mods gave a time limit on editing :/
Haha ya, you saw how much...

I will use an awesome hack blade on my leatherman, takes about 45 seconds,
Or I may also use a standard copper tube cutter. You know, where you twist the handle tightening it and then keep spinning...
So here's what I am doing.
I have a magnet and I'm gonna drill (2) holes through it to match the 2 screw holes above the serial number on the back of the sc56.

To answer 1st question I have 2 of those small hoses with the low loss 90 degree
Shutoff valve hooked up to the high/low side.
On those I have a 3/8 to 1/4 reducer, I then hook the 3/8 lines up to...

100% of the leaks I've foun have been in the EVAP coil.
Put in UV dye, come back after a few days of the customer running it
and just shine the light.
