    Little Navien

    I didn’t install the insulation so I had to cover the duct tape. I’m going back to finish when the upstairs floor is ready.

    I'm tired of these mediocre "semi flammable" refrigerants. If we're going to do it let's do it right.
    Unless we change direction we are likely to end up where we are going.

    Great copper, can you clamp them faster than soldering?

    Any concern with all that copper touching cinder blocks and mortar?

    Anytime I have bent PVC, the PVC ends up with burn marks.
    I do a triple evac with nitro to remove non condensables.

    Very handsome workmanship.

    Do you get more time savings or material savings from that Rems Curvo?

    I’d say I save more money, especially on the larger fittings but it’s close.

    REMS makes nice tools.

    Do they make a US kit, or did you have to figure out what metric sizes to get to work with SAE pipe sizes.

    Both metric and Imperial sizes. https://remstoolsusa.com/ Is where I get all my Rems tools and they are outstanding to deal with.
