Compressor on York 12.5 Ton R22 RTU Rooftop Packaged Unit Exploded - Terminal Blew Out & AC Calls

[@gmoney9588]

I love when you quote Steve Lav . Both of you make your channels fun to watch as well as teaching technique and educating the public about plumbing . I will say as well , your both vey good and very experienced hvac and plumbing techs . I think you both do great work . The only way I know to prevent the contents of the high or low side from spraying out under pressure is to shut down the system and equalize the high and low side . The gauges will reflect the pressure drop and the gauges or anything connected the the ports can be disconnected . Of course there’s the way to send the refrigerant back into the system from the gauges . It must take longer since the system is much bigger . Never did this on an hvac system because I never serviced one but would like to see how it’s done just out of interest . Your channel really gets my mind in gear !

Mikey have a happy and healthy new year . I used to live in Caffrey Ave until about 1975 . So seeing the Condos on Beach 17th street brought bake memories . Back then it was safe to walk to the beach alone , not like today . Oh has the world changed .

[@natepeterson7145]

Daniel don't worry first time I used easy seal I got it all over my hands and homeowners siding. Gotta clean it up as soon as you get it on something. I have Lysol wipes handy thanks to the Rona I use and it works good.

Not only is it Friday...but its a 3 dau weekend..and im not on call!!!! Oh yeah and also...good work Mikey trying to limp that unit along....this backup of parts and equipment is geeting old... Ive band aided more units this summer than i have in years...

3 or 4 rungs of the ladder above the roof edge minimum.

[@jefferygrady3181]

Great video Mikey pipes! On the first one back to basics! Hook up a set of anolog gauges and you will know what your correct pressures are! Have a great weekend Mikey pipes!

[@focusedelectronics]

Hey Mikey, rule of thumb on ladder setup 4 to 1 rule and 3 feet above roof line. Much safer 😉

[@royordway9157]

and take a pair of vise grips to clamp the the edge metal and tie the top of the ladder off. This is a requirement and also a smart thing to do. Ask me how I know. I did have a ladder blow over on me 30 years ago.

[@bretpashnick4755]

Stand with your feet against the base of the ladder and reach out to a rung directly in front of you at shoulder height. with your arms fully extended you should be standing straight up and not leaning forward or backward. This is the correct climbing angle of aprox 70 to 75 degrees.

[@petersmart1999]

Firemans carry and setup,you are correct!

[@edt.6267]

I was told that safe setup of an extension ladder is a 4:1 ratio, 2 full rungs above the dismount line, and secured top & bottom. Commercial construction has got regs for everything! I should add, the method you described to setup the ladder works 99 time out of a hundred.

[@throttlebottle5906]

that also places the flats of the D shaped rungs horizontal, if you want to get silly you can put a level on the ladder.

[@patrickvillegas3885]

Look on the side of the ladder you will see a L shaped diagram , when the bottom of is level you are set. The other thing you need to know is that you want three rungs above the set point that way you can step off the ladder with h something to hold on too. This helps with you ur balance stepping off the ladder. Always try to secure the top of the ladder because if it slides to the ground you are in for a long day. Always use a rope to bring your equipment to the roof. When climbing a ladder you should always maintain three point of contact. This is hard to do if you are carrying something in your hands. Always remember that you are responsible for your safety. This is HVAC you going home in one piece is the most important thing each and every day.

[@nichobrooks]

I got my Testo smart probes and use them with measure quick, they work good with no issues on my Android phone. I always zero before connecting to the ports

[@stevenw10017]

The UV dye was funny I've never laughed so hard !

[@jkbrown5496]

I've found cheap cafeteria trays from a restaurant supply work well to give you a nice clean spot to keep your tools out of the dirt and also small parts and such.

[@llservice3376]

General rule of thumb distance from base of building to bottom of ladder 25 percent of height. But the feet against the base and arms length at shoulders is also good.

[@fatcat-hc4pj]

Happy Friday Mikey Pipes have a good weekend

[@cheechchickens1854]

Man works so hard he forgot it was labor day weekend!

[@throttlebottle5906]

ouch, always cut back to un-melted clean bare bright wire, even if that means fully replacing it from end to end. if it's been overheated or wet, it's oxidized and corroded junk. same for all electrical terminals. always replace replace replace!

[@davidhoward2237]

on knipex the red little thing is to change the thickness of the plastic on the wire. So it will cut into the plastic more

Almost every test instrument out there has a +/- differential.Meters,thermometers,pressure gauges etc!

@@PipeDoctor its a 3 day deal but that was the final day finishing it off

[@walterbordett2023]

Every measurement has an associated error. Place the two temp clamps on a piece of copper tubing at ambient temp. If they were both perfect, they would read that same temp in a few minutes. Put both pressure transducers on a tee to the same pressure and see what they read. That will tell you how well they track each others.

[@petersmart1999]

+/- %

[@throttlebottle5906]

ice water bath is generally how you test temperature probe calibration. unless you have a dedicated equipment calibration lab.

[@jaxsonhugh9334]

It looks like the mini split unit is literally sucking in all the hot air from the unit under it

[@paulrozinski1488]

When Daniel goes to the club tonight, you’ll be able to spot him anywhere in the dark. Who knows, maybe he’ll start a trend. 😂😂😂. Every wired clamp on temp. probe I’ve used had to be calibrated to the thermometer. When I do the ice bath calibration, I find that the probe in T1 and T2 give different readings . Whatever you set the probe to, you can only use it in THAT socket. ( Fieldpiece wired 2 channel unit).

[@throttlebottle5906]

he'll just all the other glow-in-the-dark and led lit freaks :))

[@johnszymanski548]

Need 3 more probes to really use measure quick to have all the benefits Need a oa temp probe And supply and return probes Use it every day with android no issues And you need to zero the probes out in the settings You'll always have slight difference between temp clams

[@Whats12345]

Rule of thumb....ALWAYS turn the Probes on, load the app, verify a -0- PSI reading, THEN hookup...they have finally updated to automatically activate the probes when you load the app, but it still takes about 5-10 secs to link AFTER the app is loaded

[@robertwood9628]

Explain why a small puncture in the condenser justifies replacing the entire unit? I have repaired numerous cond leaks without replacing the unit. Hoping you have a good reason. Sometimes I wonder about your reasoning

Looks like that 12.5 blew the terminals out when you powered it on. Meg it first on older compressors.

Did you check the valve cores on the 1st call that was missing refrigerant?

[@tdadp]

[@patrickvillegas3885]

Daniel get some core depressors and you will stop the leaking when removing you probes.

better to see if it holds the vacuum rather than a positive psi to determine if system is tight

[@billj4859]

I have the first gen Testo probes and they were always a little flaky, especially with MeasureQuick. At least with the probes I have the temp clamps are not very accurate when trying to measure air temp. They are also a lot slower than the fieldpiece probes.

[@Hvacsteve69]

That’s because they have a compensation factor

[@abdullah_q8171]

Nice videos Mikey 👍🏻

Probably a variable in either sensors or applications programming.

Hey Mickey Pipes On that roof top unit why didn’t you “test” to make sure that the power was off before you touched those wires going to the compressor? “Guess” you was guessing. Love your videos, have a great weekend

Its clamps. Had same issue with testo clamps. Went to fieldpiece probes years ago. I have been using measurequick since beta testing. Only thing i use. Do not have to zero at least with fieldpiece probes. I use ipad.
