Welcome!
No dreams of KZread stardom here, lots of great content creators out there already! I would love to learn to make small edited videos as trip memories but gotta start somewhere, posting single shot clips for future edits is a start..Just too busy at living to figure it out, if I get a few minutes I take our dog for a well deserved walk.
For now, this seems like a good platform to allow family or friends to walk with me for a minute...I post things to share with family from trips and such. I also post videos about HVACR, for my son who is quickly advancing in the trade.

I personal wrap valves and flow Nitrogen to keep the txv or exv in some unit..plus reversing valve clean... otherwise..job great 👍
Just sweat in a ball valve on the water line and leave it on auto fil lol.:)
That would work for the water condenser if we pay the guy to sit there and watch the gallon per minute gauge..lol.. luckily most of these old buildings are getting bought by people who are fixing them, or they are meeting their day with a bulldozer
Good job, I never would have thought of setting my gauges on a constant evaporator temp and leaving the bottle hooked up . That was nothing but a lazy decision.
I've seen this several times throughout the years, an owner who won't spend money and untrained facility guys who are doing the best they can. Not good for the environment and not good for the pocketbook.. fortunately the new owner is taking a better approach.
I don't miss working on coolers. Always old stinky junk dirty and fallen apart. And in shity spots to work on
Lol.. even 6 months old they have a ... special ... smell.
0:30 even the compressor label looks scorched
Wow quite the vid. Love that auto fill . Can i have those gauges when you are done fixing it ? Nice video TY
Lol.. it was their gauges... antiques..
Had a buddy who one of these blew up on right after he started the unit back up for a service call. Thankfully he was away from it but nearly pooped his pants.
No nitrogen? No wrapping the valves?
Read the video description. .. wrap the stuff!.. real player says you don't use nitrogen every time..
Great job. Thank you for the knowledge.
🇺🇸❄️👍💪 nice vid thanks for sharing
Been waiting for a good Refrigeration one for ya..🤞
@@pairofjacks1006 yeah man thanks. Just started a new job a couple months ago n it’s all commercial refrigeration. Walkin reachin ice machines. No residential or heat/Ac. Love it. Next step is for me to get out n enjoy the country like u do. Thanks again ur very helpful. 👍🙏💪🇺🇸
That's awesome news, doing it everyday you'll master it in no time!
@@pairofjacks1006 thanks that’s my plan to be better than I was yesterday.
Great video. So many of these units in rental apartments. I have been dropping the whole blower assembly... I'll this way on the next one I do.
Dropping that housing is a big pain for sure..when you give it a yank be sure the wheel stays in line with the taper on the housing so it all stays straight. Hope it goes well for you!
Nice work. Thank you for the knowledge.
How old are you and how do you know so much?
Young enough for a 40yo girlfriend lol... let's keep it there😁.. I was lucky to work with very skilled people who taught me freely, It takes time hang in there, eventually you realize it's all the same... it's just heat transfer with controls..Also, don't be afraid to call the manufacturer tech support, as long as you don't sound like a homeowner they're usually pretty helpful and can teach you things on individual pieces of equipment as you go.Thanks for the comments and good luck.
@@pairofjacks1006 Sorry, what I meant to say was how long have you worked in HVAC, you have a lot of knowledge , thank you for your videos.
🤣..I started on ships and learned central plant then went full hvacr , 30 years solo. Who you work with means alot!
"promosm"
That water sitting ON TOP of the valve is not getting the same heat as the bottom part of the valve where the seal is. All manufacturers tell you explicitly to remove the Schrader valves before brazing so I don't know where you heard they don't. They all tell you to wrap the valves in water soaked rags to prevent damaging the valve cores from the heat of the torch. And yes you need to flow nitrogen while brazing or you risk having flakes of gunk jamming up your TXV or orifice. And the last thing is clean your copper. You need the braze to flow into the cup not just capping the outside. The flame may clean the outside of the cup but not the inside of it causing a problem with flow into it. These 4 things are just good HVAC practices for a better problem free installation and take literally no time to accomplish.
Great comments..all true.. but even though you and I believe best to remove the cores alot of units now actually come telling you not to.. check it out.. Certainly the water doesn't show the internal temperature but if it boils you took to long.. is the point. Read the video description.. the water is a check NOT a method.. nitrogen is great and if I have very long linesets with multiple fittings I'll use it for sure but if we only have a few joints and we are quick I stand behind skip the nitrogen. Yep. Thanks for helping me clear that all up.. video would be misleading to someone who didn't watch and listen to the whole thing
@@pairofjacks1006 Thanks for the response. Can you direct me to a site where they say to not remove the cores? I always like to keep up to date with changes in the industry.
@@Kevin-mm6xm keep an eye on units you install, a warning sticker beside the valves...that said, I still remove them.. I have no idea why some have started saying leave them in?? My best guess is they have lost faith in field torchwork
Great tip...
Make sure to read the video description.👍
Great info!
Thx, it's not supposed to be that hard.. yikes..
The problem on wrenching on the aluminum threads is when they snap off, I have experience doing low temperature aluminum soldering, braising implies higher temperatures, just a dab of acid on the joint, when the joint starts the bubble with the lowest propane flame that you can think of!!!!!!!!! , then start pushing in the aluminum solder quick and easy, another issue is messing with factory threads now that's your liability and not theirs, the factory torqued them to their specs with a machine, the automotive industry has been using aluminum for decades, TXVs on cars are all aluminum bodies
Thanks alot Robert, yep I have started practicing on the aluminum and it's not as hard as I remember...it's becoming a necessary repair and I can see repaiing leaks on coils which sadly are all aluminum now. Normally it's much easier to work with the wrench than the torch but these particular Rheem/ Ruud valves at least, are very over torqued.. just wanted to show you with a little care and finesse you can still do 9 out of 10 of these this way and save a lot of time and money. As far as liability lol... once we touch anything it's always ours till it's done. Thanks for the aluminum pep talk we all need it.
What if the needle doesn’t move when it’s on send and receive
Not an expert on that but have had it happen... if set to swr mode and no movement I figured something was broke so I sent for a new unit.. if in transmit mode there should definitely be deflection of some kind. Wish I could tell you more my unit was under warranty so I solved the issue by exchanging the unit. I figure there's something was wrong with the switch or I possibly have done something wrong and burn the crystal
What about nitrogen flow?
Getting me yelled at for this one 😅...Nitrogen flow.. if we are in military or space applications ok but otherwise in my opinion, nitrogen flow is a waste of time and money. A little oxidation dust will be solved in the first 60 seconds of run time. Thousands of systems installed, one compressor failure in warranty period, no nitrogen flow. The drier will handle this just fine, we have enough to do already✌️
@@pairofjacks1006 Thank you!! I will try water bottle technique next time.
I was a little misleading... the water is just a visual indicator so you can know if you may have taken too long and damaged the valve seals..Always wrap the valves with wet cloth first, but even still the valve can get too hot, the water just let's you see for sure. Thanks for the comments and good luck out there.
So much incorrect information.
Like the way I explained the correct industry standard way to do it or .. what?
@@pairofjacks1006 Youi did not.
You do a phenomenal job explaining these things. Keep it up. Much appreciated. Great teacher.
Thanks, glad it could help you.
NGK junk Samsung compressor, loose start wiring shorted out, blew the hot R terminal out, lost charge….after 3 years. Always foam tape and tie wrap loose wiring and tubing at installation. The manufacturers only care about profits so that the suits can make 6-7 figures.
Thanks great Advise tutorial yes sir ....testing a compressors OHMS be safe Removing its Plug or flag connectors just to test it .....might add it usually an Old Compressor ud be oHms out anyways were & tear can go boom
This is a great PSA for all the young techs. As I have been at this since 96 , I don’t post or even talk to people unless I’m first spoken too. It can be very dangerous in our day to day as installers as well . Thank you for smart advise .
Thanks James, just trying to cover the "little things"
GREAT INFO! Sounds like you are from Baltimore/Philly area. LOL.. I was born and raised in Baltimore.
That obvious? Lol.. thanks for watching
Yea I started using pro press RLS fittings , still like brazing but sometimes can’t use flames in tight spots .
I want to test/ abuse some of those soon to see how they hold up over time and use.. thanks for watching
@@pairofjacks1006 I’m an aircraft mechanic and the aviation industry has been using press fittings for hydraulic lines( 5 k ) psi for decades . It works . Once and awhile they leak . This is the future and will become the norm is they can bring the prices down on equipment and availability to fittings .
💪👍❄️🇺🇸 great info
😇
Thank you for sharing good advice 👍👍👍
🇺🇸❄️👍💪 great tips thanks
Always best to wrap stuff if you can..depends on how quick you are. Thanks for watching!
@pairofjacks1006 I definitely need work on brazing. Patience is important
🇺🇸❄️👍💪 viva
Thx , can't believe after a week in Death Valley I headed straight to a landfill 🤣
I spoke too soon on this one.. mid April now and just the regular yellow flowers.. nice but not a super bloom.. Great day just the same
Wow, that was some major experience at work there! Good job man!
Oh it goes wrong sometimes lol... thx Nate
Nice work Pair of jacks.
Thx sir! Gonna be a difficult summer I think..major parts being discontinued prepping for a2L Could have bought that coil 4 months ago.. now none
that could be difference between someone feeding their family for a few weeks or not. money is tight now a days, its nice to see us back actually fixing stuff instead of just replacing it.
Ok jhony
Fine day sir
I thought I seen somebody poking through there and then you popped up on the other side
That's when you need a dog treat
That looks like you come out of the Denny's in Hanover
Awesome can't believe u were that close to him
Van killer
Says the guy who could break an anvil🤣
😮 wow never knew that
Phase monitor isn’t going to protect against over current on that non- internally protected motor. Those drives are a problem with the Yorks as they can’t be configured above 460 volts. Do a contactor with overload block and you’re good 👍 but if that unit is multi stage heat / cool that capability is lost. Different brand drive is best alternative . Not taking issue with the video , just alternatives.
Found the inscribed piece yesterday. Thanks for the information I couldn’t find any!
Great Chanell dude and thank you for sharing 💯💯💯👍👍
The best remembered lessons were usually epic.
As long as the red Antenna ain't red is good
20 as well
Awesome video bro I wish I had an instructor like this dude , breaks it down hella simple . U are a great teacher! All my rookie techs out there this is gold . This goes for any gas system , if I know the operation of sequence . I admit I get over anxious in bigger equipment, but it’s the same stuff, period sequence. Gold 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
