Anyone use the push to connect fittings for refrigeration? They sell them at United now and I see guys buying them by the dozen.

But do you mow your own grass?

You should be having a burger with your beer during a heatwave in July when there won't be many service calls.

Huh

The photo uploading on this site is terrible.

I make it to the last page where you have to drag the photo to the bottom to attach it but it won’t let you drag any of them.

I’m assuming you checked this already, but if the valve is overfeeding, make sure the sensing bulb for the txv is tightly and securely connected to the suction line.

You were the one that told me to come here.

They have the hvac contractor come and shut down the Munters unit to be washed also.

The coil cleaning vendor has to come four times.

Once for the racks, once for the munters/dhu/applied unit...

It’s a sad world we live in

You should just fix your leaks rather than add gas every month. That would certainly help with climate change.

Around here it’s called the HPCV (high pressure control valve) lol

What does ICM stand for?

Do your Canadian racks use that same valve? eh

fkn eh right we do bud

No I’m not ok with it. The dye makes a big mess.

The previous contractor is the source of a lot of problems.

There’s a bunch of stores around here that another contractor used to do. Every rack has dye in it.

Because Mike is a tool snob and all his apprentice’s tools come from harbor freight and mike doesn’t like using them.

Good. I check pressure switches with it and it reads steady.

Friday night I was checking a tube heater and it bounced around a bit but the tube was running pretty rough at the time.

Maybe SVC UV like Service UV Dryer

At least they didn’t call it the Dehydrator

Yep it starts in inches wc

The magnet is good

It reads vary accurate

It starts at 0.01” I do a lot of static pressure and differential pressure

It also reads higher for gas pressure, ive...

It says UV Drier on the side

Testo 510

Battery life excellent

Have used it when it’s -20 outside and it works.

Arguably the 510 is one of the few items Testo makes which is actually really good.

I would advise...

Samsung?

We need @Coolperfect

Does Apple make a fridge?

I bought mine about 6 months ago or so.

Amana with top refrigerator and bottom freezer.

No French Door or water dispenser.

It’s got one swinging door for the refrigerator and a drawer for...

I’m a supermarket hack.

I have a tool belt with a crescent wrench, 6in1 screwdriver, channellock pliers, service valve wrench, wire strippers and multimeter. I carry it in for every call.

I...

Yes it’s been very difficult for me to resist doing that.

What’s up with these $2000 and $3000 fridges?

I have a $1000 Amana and am very happy with it.

My apprentice carry’s in a Milwaukee bag with every power tool made along with his backpack on every call.

But he will never bring a multimeter with. Always walks back out to get it.

He has...

I know everyone on this site enjoys giving bad information to diy homeowners.

But honestly bro, those tabs are meant to be soldered to the board so you can put a spade connector on it. On that...

Well I’m glad I don’t own an LG Fridge

Just wait for penton’s servers to crash again and everything will get lost again

With 404a you would want about 18 to 22 psi suction pressure.

Do you check the product temperature of the ice cream that was dispensed?

A lot of the beer caves up here just have an air curtain.

Only about half have a door that can be closed at night. The other half have no door, just an air curtain that runs 24/7.

I never told you that.

The whole dust cap thing is nonsense.

There’s a lot out there.

Just about every new unit we’ve sold for at least the past six months has been hydrocarbon, and even a lot prior to then.

True, Beverage Air, Continental, Turbo Air,...

We are. There’s a lot of hydrocarbon systems out there. R290 and R600a Isobutane as well.

Ain’t that the truth

Lol I forgot about the third party place.

We don’t get to deal with them very often. We usually only do warranty work for the oem’s and once the warranty is over they send in their normal...

They asked the Guru and he said it was fine

Cool, I didn’t know you left.

I just called product support at Grainger about this and they said to go by superheat rather than just pick an arbitrary return gas temperature.

Unless I missed it, I didn’t see an actual superheat measurement posted.

Oh golly

The method you describe to pump it down won’t do anything to pump out the receiver.

To replace that valve you’re going to have to recover the charge.

Most likely not. On those kinds of valve the center port is always open to the system and typically won’t have a shrader core. You just need to keep a good cap on it really tight.

I would take a trusty q-model that’s in good condition over an indigo, prodigy, or new hoshi any day.

I think the constant cut-ins are made by the Italians.
