I bought a Pre Charged Bryant Heat Pump. So I think the 3-way valves were front-seated to seal off the lines on the Compressor side. I need to install the orifice on the compressor end and am trying to figure out out to suck the refrigerant back into the Compressor. It came with a #67 orifice and the installer left it out so we only have an Air Conditioner, no Heat Pump. They don't like DIY Homeowners but we hired an HVAC Company and they did it wrong. We found the Orifice taped to the electrical cover. Go figure. The first time we flipped on the Heating mode, the Compressor sounded awful and the heat out of the ducts was only 78 degrees. Our previous Heat Pump would put out in excess of 100 degrees. So I believe the missing Orifice is the cause. Anyway, nice video.
You are a freaking genius!! It just hit me while watching your video, oil was leaking out of a back seated king valve. The valve didn't seat all the way, it just hit me!
That's an interesting valve. Something that would truly frustrate me if I thought I would just be testing. But then again, I am non-refrigerant certified or qualified. Great video as usual by explaining thoroughly for even lay people to understand. Keep up the good work. Oh yea.... FIRST ...
So is a king valve different from a regular service valve? I was under the impression front seating the valve will isolate the compressor or w.e, from the system
Awesome video brother thanks for the helpful info. I love your videos. I'm a lawn care guy. I love your videos about your water softener and filter. I have a RUclips channel too. Give me a shout out at Grandview lawn care. Keep up the great work
Ummmm, as you begin the video by misnaming a compressor suction service valve as a "King Valve"... I find myself wanting to mention... A king valve describes a service valves position in the refrigeration circuit (At the exit of a liquid receiver).... Before you decide to teach others (and do so incorrectly) , please learn your trade.
Nice report bud. I wonder if you're organized through UA? If so, didn't they teach you not to put your lips on it and blow in apprenticeship? l😂😂. I had to say it. Not my fault. But deece. Presentation kiddo.

No, when it's fully front seated you read the pressure on the line set not the compressor

Just notice it was at 99 views.. then 99 bottles of beer on the wall .... popped into my head.

Should always back off packing gland nut before moving spindle and re- tighten after finished, helps stop leaks in future.
Thanks Bro'! Appreciate taking your time to share it with us!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge boss
In the uk they are called rotalock valves.
thank you ben for sharing all your videos are awesome!!!!.
Broooo.... i think you should loosen the packing 1st. I hate those valves. (They always leak)
Just went outside today and did a check for the summer and saw mine dripping fkn water out of the bolt. Didnt even know what it was
Ive got one leaking where it screws on to the compressor. Brand new out of the box. Any tricks to fix this?
Waddup its yaboi king and valve
Where can I buy this kind of valve from? Thanks
Thanks for making, but need diagram to visualize.
but there is another sort of king valve when you front seated, the connection to compressor is shut while the pipe connection are connected.
Serviced many units with King valves 😎

Remember that plastic cap will not hold refrigerant tight.

Why can’t we just install a schrader and back seat the valve all the time?
Thx
