😁 people have never been able to handle the full me. It has to be administered in small doses. Easter was good, had food, family and God time.

[@MarcosHVAC]

For those newer style delfield units. From factory, they cycle the evaporator fans on and off. Inside the control section you’re able to jump out the fans and have them run 24/7. Customers complained a lot back whenever Delfield decided to go to their r290 units. I’ve seen the same thing with True as well, true is slightly more complicated to get the fans to run 24/7 but it’s doable. Thanks for sharing

[@HVACRSurvival]

Thanks, that’s good to know. I knew the R290 true units did it but wasn’t sure about the Delfield.

Rick, Another amazing instructional video! Thanks for sharing ! Be safe !!

I saw those browning belts in your truck. That’s all I ever use anymore , great belts :) Great video as well !!

[@HVACRSurvival]

That’s the main brand we use here as well. Thanks for watching!

[@vasileiosbakas9754]

One thing that i didn't get, when you tried to install the swivel tee, you pumped it down and hooked up the suction hose and u installed it without losing pressure, why was it spraying earlier and not after? I understand that suction was low because of the pump down but what happened to the pressure on the liquid line? It might sound stupid question but i m new to refrigeration and have learned a lot from you! thanks and keep up the good work!!

[@HVACRSurvival]

The place that I pumped it down at was on the receivers liquid valve. The valve I hooked it up at was after that valve. There was no refrigerant there or very little where I put the swivel tee.

[@vasileiosbakas9754]

Sounds like you have had a long week or something. Grumpin a little more than usual 😂. These videos have never disappointed in all the years i've watched.

Good job Rick, Happy Easter.

[@Wadewhitts]

Did this same repair on a kolpak freezer but the low pressure so I had to remount that liquid line to fit the tee on the suction

[@Wadewhitts]

Needless to say I absolutely laughed and felt your pain when you say it’s an absolute trash design

[@terryh8421]

Happy Easter. Good video.

[@terranhightower341]

get some 90* quick disconnects for the end of your hoses. my dad always used them to minimize refrigerant loss on the screwing on and off of the hoses...

[@HVACRSurvival]

Those won’t hold up to 410a. I had them, they didn’t last. The ball valves last the longest.

[@terranhightower341]

@@HVACRSurvival Did not know that about the 410A, he got out of the contractor business before the 410A became standard. I've seen HVACR Videos use an Appion core depressor tool that might work then. Looks small enough to get into tight spaces and will only allow refrigerant flow one the depressor is screwed down.

[@HVACRSurvival]

@@terranhightower341 i’ve been using those valve core depressor tools recently from Appion and I gotta say I like them a lot, but even though they’re small, you might have a hard time fitting them in certain types of systems.

Great job brother Happy Easter

[@Pippy626]

Love the video as always great work. I want to see maintenance on a ice cream machine

[@MikeB9771]

Never like the Kokpak set up for anything. They don't even give you enough room for a Schrader depressor tool either. Always have to give it some manipulation to make room. Those snap disk switches always fail, i see it a lot on the Manitowoc condensers, always go with the adjustable switch when its out of warranty, they will outlast the unit. Good fix Rick. HAPPY EASTER

[@lilpbass]

Brass caps are only good with a brass washer inside.

[@HVACRSurvival]

Thats new to me. I have seen copper flare washers in some.

[@publicmail2]

Are the new locking gasketed caps ok for hold pressure on low side? I have a stripped schrader port that leaks so must rely on sealed cap. Thx

[@HVACRSurvival]

They usually have a rubber gasket, there is a flair 1/4 to 1/4 fitting that would work that has a new Schrader core or a swivel tee will work.

[@topher8634]

That's what I use that way the flare seals up against existing port.
