Flip house a/c line re-connect

[drpsr99]

Customer requested the A/C Lines be reconnected ftom being cut and stolen prior to him purchasing the home for a flip house. Lines were tore off at and between the evap coil in the garage and the crawl space a couple walls over and down. System was left open. Work I did is shown prior to insulation on vapor line. I think it's pretty good for what I had to work with, and I feel good about the 30 cube drier I installed to help with moisture removal from the POE oil that's been exposed to air for about 4 months.

Is that all hard copper? that's a lot of joints. I hope you used an oversized HH drier and some acid-away that's appropriate for the refrigerant used.

Yup hard Pipe, my preference, not seen much anymore tho. Yup 30cube HH drier. No acid away tho. (4) bends total on each line from evap to condenser be exact.

I prefer hard copper on anything 1 1/8" and bigger, normally use hard copper for the liquid lines as well if I use it for the suction lines. Just looks neater.

Hard copper I always use staybrite 8

Half the heat and no need for Nitro purge

Biggest pipe I ever see is 1 inch

line set looks fine, condensate line not so much.

done right = trap, then vent. should be ok though as its a positive pressure coil

[drpsr99]

Nothing else besides the line set is my work. The rest is existing done by someone else. Customer didn't want any of it changed.

Should have slipped the armor flex on while open!

I prefer hard.....
3/8 i would have used soft and a bender!

[drpsr99]

Yes that's an easy way to do things, however I prefer doing it after the piping is complete and using a miter box with the arma flex to make perfect 90°s and seal it all really good. Again it's a style not seen much anymore but nonetheless one I prefer to use. As for the liquid line if I don't have to many bends I'll use the hard copper for it as well.
