If I'm not mistaken this is not a job for a diy homeowner. You need a licensed electrician to set this up.

[@missfit4943]

Awesome job!

[@vw_mods_4711]

For best results with flares always use a torque wrench, and do up to the manufacturer specifications. Pressure testing the pipe work you installed with OF nitrogen and checking the joints with bubble leak detector is a key step missed! especially if you don’t have certification to buy the gas that you may loose if it starts leaking once you have released the refrigerant! People skipping steps is what gives these units a bad name!

[@DPMechanical1]

Or a micron guage

[@user-xv9dz9zp3s]

Yeah never checked microns. These are the dudes I go behind on (pause) lol

@@joshuacarter7119 it's to cover the hole you cut outside because the unit covers the hole on the inside!

[@joshuacarter7119]

You should call the manufacturer and tell them that because it clearly says it goes on the inside in the instructions. Just installed one today.

[@hhova29]

Nice. I hear these leak pretty easily over some time.

[@Lkom24]

If installed by a hack..they should never leak

[@onua1522]

The commonly leak when not torqued correctly. If torqued correctly, you shouldn't have any leaks.

[@GoldDiamond-qr8qf]

They leak only if evaporator joint pipe is bent, which this guy did. It should never be bent like that. Hole should have been done on left side, the pipe joints are suppose to be inside the house, hidden behind the indoor unit.

[@jammiejacobz9593]

No I disagree. Pipe joint stays outside imo. Makes it easier for servicing and whatever

[@dustinpomeroy8817]

​@@jammiejacobz9593I agree fuck that shit

The cap on the evaporator have a little button to release the nitrogen inside! I think in the liquid line

[@user-byjyi829wpqmsn]

the plastic decoration goes on the outside of the hole where it is filled with sealing rubber to prevent insects from entering the air conditioner through the wall.

[@GoldDiamond-qr8qf]

The gas lines connection joint should be inside the house, hidden behind the indoor unit.

[@demented392rt5]

There's a connection on both, the evaporator and condenser. Just make sure to pressure test to ensure no leaks before you pull a vacuum

[@GoldDiamond-qr8qf]

@@demented392rt5 true, but the connection at the evaporator end should be inside the house, correct? Otherwise it would be very difficult to remove the indoor unit later for cleaning.

[@jonsmith9708]

why did you skip the electrical part of the install?

[@trueforum378]

It’s basic wiring no big deal

[@calemheiser2206]

Actually, unless you’re a licensed electrician, you cannot install a shut off which is required (unless it’s your own home doing it yourself). He probably had called an electrician out to install the shut off for him.

[@asiabrilliance7162]

Because you can use a 120 v outlet for it.

yup, he makes it look easy - but i tried and failed - so i hired a contractor and he installed it for me. but before he could do this i had to lay cement down to place the AC on it - then i have to bring a 220 power line (i believe) to it. it was a nightmare!
