That's the first isolator I've seen that looks like that. All the ones we use are braided.
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 would be a great place not to be when that launched.
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?

Customer on this. Best I can tell is that the dirty coil, broken condensor fans and years of neglect finally caught up. The vibrasorb may have gotten a little too hot when it was originally installed and was weak. I'm not sure what the head pressure was when it let go but the HP was set at 300.
