R410a leaking from wire rubbing copper pipe

[@RayRay-nb7tn]

Good to have a homeowner learn a few things to prevent other companies taking advantage of them. But NOT in this case got one of the best companies out there doing quality work.

[@sknight0391]

I love the smell of phosgene in the morning. 💨💨💨💨

[@peterhodgkins6985]

That was a ridiculously 'perfect' hole! The planets all gotta be 'bout in the right position for that to happen! lol Good job Ted!

[@EverythingHVACR]

Nicely done, Ted! Always something rubbing out somewhere.

[@chatrkat]

Holy blown charge Batman! 😱 I’ve experienced copper lines rubbing through but not that large of a hole. Mr Homeowner was very lucky he had a low pressure switch. I do like that fence they have in back even if it’s not real stone it still looks sharp. Always enjoy your new videos Ted.

[@Pentti_Hilkuri]

I don't think it rubbed through, looks more like it arced through.

[@blackericdenice]

I learned enough from watching Anti videos to install a Rheem evaporator and new Goodman condenser. It worked all summer long so I guess I did it right. 5:30 A Coolray tech tried to charge me $3,000 to weld up a small hole a few moths ago. He then told me he would fix it under the table for $1,300.

[@roberts.3712]

I love this complicated stuff. That customer is irritating.

[@pilotboba]

The same thing happened to my Carrier. Vibration rubbed off the insulation, shorting on the pipe and blowing a hole in it. They could put in about $1 more worth of wire and run it around the edge of the unit, rather than drap it over the copper pipe. They wanted $800 to fill it after the warranty fix. I said, no carrier should pay for the charge, since it was a manufacturer's defect warranty fix. I was told Carrier wouldn't pay for the freon. WTF?

[@--harry_]

I just repaired a larger package unit, Johnson controls unit 4 years old. The wire rubbed and took out the line. $2500 in refrigerant. The best part is last spring a screw on the same unit rubbed through a different line. I hope it isn't a yearly thing. As the tech, I am the punching bag of the customer...

[@Eddy63]

Nice find Ted and it was mighty ''brazen'' of you to fix it Thx

[@bobgallo3775]

Good job , Ted. I have seen this very same issue in my 37 yrs. on the job.

[@pilotboba]

Used to have a sign at a hobby store I frequented for model train repairs: $20 per hour $30 per hour if you watch $50 per hour if you help

[@AaronPowellvox]

Man after my own heart using straight acetylene to braze. Then on top of that you’re using real R22! Good stuff man.

[@thinkabout602]

" To be dangerous" 😂

[@kennyjohnson4411]

I'm glad you maintained the call by using Competence Confidence Control

[@martinwoods6716]

Kool Video, Never seen your short tool before. Can you explain what it is, how it works and where to get one please…. Thank You

[@SuburbanDon]

I Looked up helicopter and it had that guys picture. Geez.

[@abatro5664]

I’m just glad the board wasn’t on top the u it when you got there!Just discovered your channel and look forward to more great videos!

[@markcotter2355]

we maintenance Carrier and come across that zip tie broken a lot. when I can I replace it with a new one. good job on saving that Great equipment from death!.

[@rcpasc1948]

Did you get that whistling torch form Steve Lav?? LOL

[@frankspliff7037]

If homeowner helps triple the rate

[@latafairam]

You were very friendly to that helicopter

[@kain93]

The guy is being a Helicopter 🚁 haha!. Well Ted I enjoy your videos and god bless you amigo 🙏🏽

[@RogerGregory-vl4kb]

I think the real star of the video was the Fieldpiece pump.😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@megason2]

Shes a leaker momma shes a leaker

[@danwittels5542]

The ol' rubaduski! Nice bird turd! We won't tell the youtube police you didn't flow nitrogen. 😅 You might have had trouble using Stay Brite 8 on a hole that size. Good job Ted!

[@joemcfarland3491]

Maybe if you solder it, with some "SISSY SOLDER STUFF"🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭

[@robalexander7348]

Well Ted, that wasw a nice fix for the customer 👍 Au

[@trumpingtonfanhurst694]

That guy was a Bell UH-1D

[@arthurhartwick7974]

Pulling vacuum through the manifold with small diameter hoses?

[@dantemariscal8679]

Awesome repair Ted. Nice to see someone still repairing leaks and brazing. By the way what temperature clamps are those on your fieldpiece manifold

[@umeng2002]

How on Earth does that happen? Arcing through the wire insulation into the pipe?

[@scottmaz4063]

Job well done Ted

[@OnePointLander]

A helper that pays you to help you!

[@claystewart2395]

Had that happen last week on a call Goodman unit

[@jayjudd6518]

That was 😮 a good one thanks . 😊😊

[@gordonpotts753]

I luv sil fos (15%). I dont use Staybrite on refrigerant lines either.

[@Garth2011]

This is all too common. Bad design, poor assembly, junk clips etc.

[@chesstime356]

Very nice video as always.

[@zackmax7184]

It made A Leka Momma.

[@sknight0391]

[@raymondjacobs8429]

Ted, When they make us change to 1234y ??? w/propane, you be able to do that??

[@boeing757pilot]

Good video. Im curious how that wire was repaired. Is a bit of electrical tape sufficient?

[@--harry_]

I don't think so. I have seen electrical tape and wire nuts also. They are not long lasting. The electrical tape looses grip overtime in the elements like that and falls off. I cut the connector off the wire and slip heat shrink wrap on it but I have seen other techs use liquid electrical tape. I have a bunch of colors and sizes of the heat shrink so most people won't even notice the repair.

[@georgen.8027]

You couldn't drill a hole that round if your tried, but a zap of 220v and presto 🤣🤣

[@jmream2618]

The homeowner tried their best

[@javaonline]

In the IT world, we say it costs more if the client tries to fix it first. I’d bet money the homeowner is an engineer.

[@kevincampbell7276]

Man this helicopter is a real genius maybe he should grab 120 volt wire and see what it well do to a person 😜 I'm starting to believe you don't know the difference between a knife and a spoon

[@jasontexter1721]

I hate pulling a vacuum through low loss fittings. At least you know it wasn't open to atmosphere long and all the gas is out of the oil being at 0 for a day or two 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@yodamanrulz176]

When I watch a video like this, I can’t help but want to audit it for better clarity if needed. The sound is very low and hard to discern. Anytime you have a helicopter yackety-yacking, please ask them to speak up for the recording or else STFU… can you imagine somebody hovering over the mechanic that is working on their car? They would be ran off with a stick if necessary. Technical imbeciles are the worst. Got to be nice I guess. I’ve heard some guys say that they just quit working when being asked questions by a helicopter. And then return to work when disengaged. Repeat as necessary. Extra cost should be incurred.

[@arthurhartwick7974]

What an annoying customer

[@smacleod69]

Is that the Chinese R22 jug you bought?

[@abatro5664]

Pressure switch it is

[@JohnH1370]

Maybe lightning

[@rando_webb8704]

Those hoses aren't rated for a deep vacuum.

[@stevevalenzuela5138]

hero status

[@arthurhartwick7974]

I'm curious why you wouldn't use the opportunity to switch him over to an R 22 alternative

[@HienLe-qh6mo]

There is no drop-in replacement for R-22. Conversion to R-410a requires upgrading of both condenser and evaporator for a much higher operating pressure. The required retrofit may cost as much as a new system. I currently have a 27-year old, 2.5 ton Carrier and would like to extend its life as long as I can with R-22.

[@realSamAndrew]

I'm curious what your reasoning is.

[@mrpatter19888]

You keep telling yourself there’s no replacement for 22

[@abatro5664]

To be dangerous 😂
