Replace R408A with R407F part 2

I do a refrigerant change over, I remove an old suction filter, 3 pressure controls, install a Ranco dual pressure control, install 2 shraetor valves, reclaim the old R408A, pull a vaccum, change the drier filter, add POE oil, charge with R407F and check operation.

Mr. Pettinato, I wish you were my instructor when I was attending the HVAC/Refrigeration School. You are the man, Sir!

[@frontiermarvin71]

THANK YOU FOR THE LESSON !! YOU ARE A WONDERFULL TEACHER !! PLEASE CONTINUE WITH THE GREAT JOB MR PETTINATO .

I had this one customer with 3 different convenient stores. His family is from India. Salim and his wife ran one store and his two sons ran the other two. Was servicing his stores for about 20 years. Every time I went in there his wife always had some sort of Indian food waiting for me. He paid well, she cooked well and I kept his stuff running. They sold out a few years back. I gotta say, I miss that family.

[@JamesPettinato]

+hannarye up here I call them the Cleveland Indians, I find them to be friendly, good bill payers, technical minded and generally good people, my only complaint is they sneak up on me when I'm working and watch

[@hannarye]

Haha, so true. Salim had bad breath so I always knew when he was looking over my shoulder. LOL

[@JamesPettinato]

+hannarye that's funny

[@supermoto3453]

I was taught in trade school rla is 1/6 of lra not 1/5 but your still dead on with a heavy load thx for the vid I learn something new everytime I watch one

[@georgegikas9307]

I am hvac technician from Greece, learn a lot from your video.You like your job.Thank you.

[@JuanLopez-zc5mz]

also, jim dont quote me on this but if i remember right where it says on the lable I-operation max is your maximum amps of operation. yours says 15.1

[@sergiografbike]

More vídeos Jim!!! You are a teacher! ! Best Regards from Brazil

[@walterbellamy6468]

Thanks Jim.. you remind me to do neater work..

[@JamesPettinato]

+walter bellamy the customers usually look at what we do, thanks

[@anruiz85]

Great job !!! Thanks for the recommendation of adding Poe oil..

[@1captjake]

Your next leak is going to be that suction line accumulator. I don't understand why someone would of put 408 in that system. Seem like it would cause high amps at the compressor. Hopefully it lasts! Thanks for the great videos!

[@JamesPettinato]

+1captjake the 408 was put in back around 2001, it's rated for low and medium temp, it was actually working good. thanks

[@MaheshPatel-nk9fg]

Another great video lesson Jim. Good job well done!

[@salehhamid]

Nice Job and helpful information as allways ,, Thanks very much for the great effort

[@JamesPettinato]

+salehhamid thanks

[@bblazeff1]

OMG! You leak locked a flare fitting!!?? a good flare never needs leak locked.

[@ago1854]

Great canal Jim! Greatings from Poland.

[@eastlandgin]

The liquid line off the drier is making contact with the electrical compartment. It could be a problem over time because of the vibration and/or galvanic corrosion . I think you should have bent the metal back a little bit or at least put a rubber spacer to prevent rubbing.

[@rashpalsingh2050]

thanks! Jim. Good job.

[@awsom70]

nice work as always jim!

[@NytefogNJ]

Nylog, best stuff made for service port caps/valves. I also love blue monster PTFE tape it's superior to the request white teflon!

[@leonbogon148]

nice work jim as always

[@jonathansmith3019]

Great set of videos Jim. Thanks for posting and give in to the dark side.

[@JamesPettinato]

thanks

[@arniegrote319]

Nice Job Jim, and cool on the amps 1/5, I didn't know that. Nice to know I have been calling Copeland all the time.

[@benp8366]

I would look into that. I believe that is just a real rough estimate for most single phase motors. Its good if you need a general ball park #

[@benp8366]

The actual number can be anywhere from 1/5 to 1/10 more or less

[@randykocian4738]

Saw you changed from 407c to 407f in latter videos. You did say it has less 134a in it. Do you like hotshot2. Dont have to worry about oil. Price isnt bad. Like your videos. You & Lav. You've done your homework and then some.

[@JamesPettinato]

+Randy Kocian haven't used hotshot2, honeywell makes Preformax R407F, that's what I use.

[@lambofdeceit]

another great video Jim - was that a shout out to me =)

[@jeffburton8350]

very informative video Jim , thanks

[@JamesPettinato]

+jeff burton thanks

[@businjay]

Love your videos Jim, even if you do look like darth vader,

[@JamesPettinato]

+Jason Windecker :)

[@marjones69]

I really hate Flared fittings,,,These things will creep right down no matter how good your flares are or how tight it is, but thanks to you i have started using leaklock and teflon... I am partial to brazed joints, reason being, a couple less chance of leaking...nothing worse than a call back...Jim that receiver tank doesn't look to good, like its ready to leak underneath it., great job as usual though Jim.

[@JamesPettinato]

+marjones69 the flare connection has been a staple connection from the beginning, if done correctly it will last for years with no problems, and it makes it easy to replace an expansion valve or a drier filter. thanks

[@marjones69]

I know, still I will limit my flare joints as much I can

[@nicholasceea4109]

Nice work Jim

Good job Jim, where did you buy the teflon tape? is that teflon tape resistant to refrigerant oil?

[@JamesPettinato]

+oscar guti I think all teflon tape is oil resistant, my supply house is where I bought it, You can buy it at home depot too, it's in the plumbing section. Thanks

[@Dyllanes_Ingeniero]

Very good. Thanks for your videos

[@jmrhvac4542]

nice job Jim a lot of information do you rather use the air acetylene then oxyacetylene torches

[@JamesPettinato]

+james rook the last time I used an oxyeacetylene tourch was around 1971

[@JuanLopez-zc5mz]

had not noticed steve had commented on that

[@heavydiesel]

Nice work Jim!

[@JamesPettinato]

+heavydiesel what refrigerant are you going to lately, thanks

[@heavydiesel]

+Jim Pettinato All the old R22 stuff gets converted to R407F or R407C, not done any new low temp stuff this year but chillers are on R134a. All our aircon has been R410A for the last fifteen years or so, so its rare to see any R22 stuff, though there is still some R407C equipment from just after R22 was banned for new aircon.

[@djonathan1]

jim, how do u make the measurements for the oil, you said that Honeywell says the amount that can be used but, do u have any website or something to read and learn about it, u know i enjoy watching your videos, non of my colleagues know the 407F, i've used it in replacement of 22 and works excellent

[@chiwoody48]

Thanks for sharing. Job well done.

[@RobHVAC]

More high praise.

[@jcorona305]

Good Job.

[@johnmiller102]

Nice job Jim. How did you determine when you had in 20% of the poe oil in the system? Is that based on the amount of the factory min oil already in the system?

[@JamesPettinato]

+johnmiller102 guess/judgement
