Carrier Install

[Christheheatingdude]

The water heater vents into the original 5" Bvent.

The thermostat is a TSTATCCCN2S01 2 Stage Heat/1 Cool Auto changeover, non programmable.

The reason for the 1" filter is I used a prepackaged return drop. And it has a built in filter space. Kept the one that came with the furnace for future use.

Nice work.

I'm not real big of the "print" on the foil tape. Not sure why they manufacture that style of tape. Is it any different than the plain silver foil tape?

The printing on the tape is to show that the tape meets certain standards.

I am a commercial tech. If an engineer is punching one of are jobs and he does not see the printing on the mastic/foil tape the installers would be changing it all out. That would upset the boss.

BTW, nice install

hey dude you put your evap on top of your heat exchanger dont you worry about condensate rusting them? on upflow install, coil should be on return side or further down supply line away from heat exchanger but the work looks great

[Christheheatingdude]

How is condensate going to rust the heat exchanger?

How is it going to get there in the first place if the drain pan is in place and not cracked?

Thanks for the reposne though

say what???


pretty sure a/c coil in return of gas furnace is in direct VIOLATION of national fuel gas code

Looks really nice. Shows some pride.

I would probably get out of the habbit of making that 45 at the return by the bottom. It actually makes for a restriction. If you dont cut the inside corner, the outside rounding or 45 is useless. You would be better off using a straight 90 and adding vanes.

First time using Carrier equipment. Happy with the way the a/c came out, but the furnace could have been better. But thought I would post anyway.

Go ahead, flame away!!

I don't see a filter drier installed?

Alltemp stole my question. Install looks nice but where is liquid line drier.

[Christheheatingdude]

It is a new install, new lineset, new coil, new everything...I do not see the need for a drier. I guess you guys do on all new installations. I don't.

That looks like a YXA, all the ones we get come with a drier. Inside the unit comes a baggie with a drier and copper connector with a teflon seal that attaches it to the unit.

No "pink" Puron sticker,not a YXA.

looks good but looks are not everything

did you run nitrogen purge while brazing?

with no filter dryer installed metering devices can get restricted.

are the king valves fully open?

not trying to put anyone down but i have had to much experience going back after installers and fixing what they caused to break.

but it does look nice!!

[Christheheatingdude]

Yes used nitrogen, yes valves backseated. I am the installer and the service guy, believe me I do not want to have to go back!

It is a TKB030. R22

Thanks for all the comments guys!
