Tips & Tricks Revealed During Fujitsu Ductless Mini Split Installation Under 3 Hours!

[@amg5619]

I enjoy your videos my ASU30RLX is 13 years old and works extremely well no issue ever. A testament to a good product and a quality install. Getting a little nervous on the age, but its performance on 90s+ degrees days was great.

[@TomHolcombe-fh1kv]

You should put your communication wire in seal tight and the other end into the line hide also wrap the line set with vinyl to protect the line set overtime

[@kens.3729]

Very Nice install and a very satisfied customer. 👍🙏

[@PipeDoctor]

We agree!

[@MrJEEPJT]

Excellent video ! ! ! 👍👍 Which Brand of Torque wrench do you endorse ? Yellow Jacket, Hilmor, CPS, or Navac ??

[@Eddy63]

Nice , neat looking install as usual ... Thx

[@PipeDoctor]

Thanks for sharing!

[@tedsaylor6016]

I've installed a few mini-splits here in AZ, the toughest part of the job is drilling that hole in the house - which here is chicken wire stucco. Carbide Hole Saw with a water squirt bottle. And mounting the indoor unit while guiding the lineset thru.

[@michaelmorello3390]

You should use nylog glue for your indoor and outdoor threads for lineset connections is safe for all refrigerants and I've been using for 10 years and never bothered with no leaks. Take a look at it the shit is awesome. Love you mikey pipes your the best

[@yrs94]

Great install. Just curious if decay test is instead of leak testing with nitro?

[@orreymodo5860]

I love how Peter is accidently going to become a amazing tech , just from helping out for a few years. Very sneaky Mike.

[@kat2641]

VERRY very nice installation ❤ question why don’t you all carry a duplex in a handy box with a 24” lead tail? All of us carry one for jobs with no convenient AC outlet we just tap onto the load side of the disconnect. The duplex receptacle will blow at 20 amp on a 15 amp for receptacle… saves hauling heavy 100 footers cords around…

[@gomerhondo7249]

Are there different qualities of the rolled copper line-sets. Father-in-law has had one go bad ~5yrs after install (small pin holes in it (like it rusted out) where condensation of pipe occurred).. replaced it and same issue less than 2 yrs later. Is the copper line set quality that bad? Or are there options for “good/better/best” in material?

[@zlo92x21]

There was a bad batch of white insulation linesets sold 5 years ago that all leaked I changed 5 the last two weeks and have 4 more next week to do

[@PipeDoctor]

Yeah. There was a bad batch of just bad process from one major particular manufacturer

[@ajaybhandari1718]

@@PipeDoctorThank you pipe doc for the info ❤

[@VinnieDeSantis]

I found that the linesets with white Insulation are the problem any horizontal runs any dip in line oil will settle and cause line to leak,also insulation doesn't stand up to UV rays.

[@T.MacThePlumber-ny5dj]

Homeowner heard 25, he was like, AIGHT ! nice install !

Great job as always well done 👏 ✔️ 👍

Thank you! Cheers!

[@stevesolt4036]

Any thoughts on the Polymeric Standard Linesets instead of using copper?

[@PipeDoctor]

I’ve never used them

[@bruceelias4964]

I think Peter if you don't get him too nervous pipes would be a great tech

[@DCHVAC]

Agreed

[@chrisw7618]

Make up an outlet that you can pull power from 1 leg on the disconnect. If the house doesn’t have a surge protector maybe add one on that disconnect.

[@PipeDoctor]

Yeah, I have that pigtail in my other tool bag

[@jimmyjamesl2318]

"That should pull out" (8:42) 😂😂 that's what she said

[@scottmaz4063]

One of the guys I also watch made a pigtail outlet and uses power from disconnect

[@PipeDoctor]

Yeah, I need to get my pigtail from my other tool bag and start using that more often

[@throttlebottle5906]

you realize that's not a great thing to do right? because you're using the equipment ground as neutral. then if you connect both the ground and neutral from the cheater cord to the disconnect ground and it has a open/loose ground, that will make any grounded tool live at whatever voltage is not passing back to the panel properly. if it's bonded to condenser case it also can become live, as well as the line-set, evaporator coil and possible furnace or end up arcing at the furnace. alternate, you may break the current path removing the line-set or whip if it happens to be flowing through it. nothing like a grounded condenser and live ground from a whip shocking you. that really never should be done, unless the disconnect is a sub panel with four wires (isolated neutral). yeah, I know everyone does it, but the first person that gets shocked or if it arcs inside and starts a fire, that very well may be the last of your business(or someone's life). it's a bit less risky on an RTU, but even so, still a no-no.

[@michaelyoung394]

@@throttlebottle5906 It's illegal to use a disconnect feed as power for outlet according to NEC.

[@SOU6900]

What's your opinion of the DIY install ductless units?

[@PipeDoctor]

You get what you pay for

[@SOU6900]

@PipeDoctor 😆 Not the best quality units then I take it.

[@jasonflynn3972]

#Mikey Pipes. You should run for Trumps V.P.

[@TomHolcombe-fh1kv]

You should use three-quarter inch PVC for the drain instead of that corrugated stuff it deteriorates overtime

[@andychristo1236]

Mike why not make an outlet with pig tails take power from disconnect

[@PipeDoctor]

You know what that reminds me I need to retrieve my my jumpers from my other Vito tool bag

[@mattwetzel8012]

Should it be up on a stand since it's a heat pump?

[@PipeDoctor]

Not ever used for heat

[@jasongeo2]

Peter found that hole real quick with that wire.🤣🤣😅

[@coldjello8436]

I thought you said your in-laws were staying with you, maybe it doesn’t matter if you have to make 7 trips back and forth to the truck.

[@rossalaimo3156]

Why are the white covers not level. Do you need a pitch on line sets ?

[@mitchdenner9743]

No, but the condensate drain line is run with the lineset.

[@PipeDoctor]

So the condensate drains with gravity

[@VinnieDeSantis]

I agree should be level looks alot neater also run linehide down below top if unit ,what one more elbow and piece of linehide alot nicer!!!

Good lineset

[@PipeDoctor]

[@watomb]

Man sometimes removing those valves can be painful. I sometimes shot them to never land.

[@PipeDoctor]

lol!!!

[@JesseDoesHVAC]

Am i the only one wondering why you seemed to just vent the refrigerant to atmosphere ?

[@nightone9720]

Because there was probably only ounces in the system.

[@Guywithcrazyideas]

You should engage the Jewish community in Florida for adding new clients.

[@PipeDoctor]

I know

[@TomHolcombe-fh1kv]

Also, the three-quarter inch PVC looks more professional

[@jeffsmith2022]

What became of Daniel Mike?...He seemed to be s 'keeper'...

[@throttlebottle5906]

he's busy in his own truck doing service and installs.

[@everettstevenson2111]

Apollo 13 flight control, do we have a go or no go, copy? Peter, we still on VOX or Baby VOX, copy?

[@PipeDoctor]

We have to go with throttle up

[@kevinpearce3281]

Mike. I thought the indoor unit needs to be a minimum of 6” from the ceiling as the top of the unit is where the return air goes in.

[@PipeDoctor]

Please read the install manual for a refresher

[@BoilerMaker56]

If you had reamed the ends of the tubing it would have been a good install. You will be back to repair the leak…

[@PipeDoctor]

What the hell are you talking about ream the ends of the line set come on bro if you’re gonna like try to like attack my install at least use the right terminology loser

[@marcinmerrimack1726]

From HVACschool: “Use a good deburring/reaming tool before swaging the copper. A high-quality inner/outer reaming tool is best for making flares. Deburring the copper is much more critical for flaring than for swaging. Failure to deburr the copper will always result in a poor quality flare and will lead to leaks.”

[@BoilerMaker56]

Wow this guy can’t take any criticism on his work… Reem or deburring I think you know where I’m going with this…

[@VinnieDeSantis]

I like to not cut tubing all the way with cutter and snap the last bit of copper doesn't leave that bevel in tubing .
