Thank you man
Easier than I expected. Gracias
Great to hear!
Thanks taddy for everything .great content keep it up
your welcome 🙏 🤗 glad you watched
Very informative thanks Tad!
Glad it was helpful!
Just passed my epa test guys. Universal
Awesome congrats my friend Now you're more successful than you've ever been
Keep on keeping on
@@TaddyDigest thanks brother.
What would be the result if I used 3 /8 to pipe 3 hours power
man u teach me some good stuff! im gettin better by the video! this just helped me figure a problem out. i was thinking why the the equipment come with 7/8 stub and somebody reduced to 3/4 on a 25’ line set so i started looking for legitimate answers. i never under mind the hvac engineers and thats just what this installer did to my customer! i sure its what they had on the truck and knew better. bottom line not dumb just lazy!
Very cool brother thank you so much for watching
Thank you but you've been very helpful
This Video es perfect Boss
Thanks!
Welcome!
Good information
Thank You Jack I Appreciate you taking the time to watch 😀
Thanks a bunch Taddy! This was a grateful information man. Can you make a video about Piston Sizes Please?
Yes I can
But his humorous answer is that he wont
Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos y experiencias. Saludos cordiales desde Guadalajara México
You're welcome my friend thank you for watching
I'm installing a Gree 4 zone 9,9,12,18 mini split which has 2 branch boxes. The longest run is 40 feet. I'm concerned if I run 2 handlers off of one branch box that I would need to increase the line size to the box. Is it a valid concern or would the system be fine given the short line lengths?
Doesn't seem like a very long line set length
I would not be concerned
Is always consult the installation instructions for the equipment though
@@TaddyDigest thanks! I just realized the package comes with larger lines to the boxes so no need for me to worry about determining the line sizes.
What is the type of copper pipe is the coil pipe that you use for A/C?
Where can I find these catalogs and can I download them online?

Hi there, I’m having a hard time determining if I need to size the lineset based on the condensing unit’s BTU’s or the Zone’s BTU’s. I have a Bosch 27k 3 zone mini split. Each zone is 9000btu respectively. Logic is telling me that I will only need a lineset big enough to cover 9000btu on each head. If I had a single zoned 27k btu head then obviously I would need a larger lineset. Am I incorrect? Thanks
you are correct
Hi, quick question.. lets say you are replacing outdoor condensor unit, and if the existing vapor and liquid line length is not enough(assume0.. what kind of connector you use .. in plumbing we use 90 degree elbow etc.. i am not sure what will be used in HVAC just to extend the line by a feet or two. apprecaite your response
I would use a 90ﾟ elbow a 45ﾟ or a coupling.
@@TaddyDigest thanks does the 45 degree elbow sold in home depot works. Or hvac copper pipe and elbow are different type
very informative info, is it possible to change pipe size to get equal BTUS,example if u have larger BTU airhandler then the condensor , does increasing pipe size or decreasing pipe daimeter give u equal BTU to get proper cooling operation ?
I'm not sure if that's possible that's a good question though
@@TaddyDigest I was at a job a while ago, that the airhandler was larger in BTU then the condensor, so they had to change suction pipe diameter to get same BTUS, it looked under engineered but did work.
It is common in the field to find pipe sizes that are too small for the newer equipment
Can you crush outside copper AC lines by standing on them?
yes absolutely
@@TaddyDigest What symptoms would you expect to see?
I bought a 3 ton condensing unit to replace old 3 ton unit. when I looked at the vaporside port for new one, it came with 7/8. So, the pipe in the house which is 3/4 wouldn't fit. Maybe I need an adapter.
are you sure it's a 3 ton 36k
@@TaddyDigest I am positive. Because I ordered 3 ton unit. Maybe I need to go double check. It looked definitly bigger than old 3 unit.
yea, definitely double-check
You can buy a copper bushing that will adapt to 3/4

I heard you was out of country Gov. stuff hopefully with good guys.
Taddy's coming back to a city near YOU
1 ton?
Is that a question
Carrier is full of themselves. Private label all the way. "Lifetime unit replacement warranty" customer only purchases unit from us "once" in a lifetime. 🧠
Interesting
@@TaddyDigest I installed a bunch of airquest, Heil, tempstar... it's all made by carrier. I've also put in Carrier commercial packaged units. They threatened to take us to court for putting they're logo on our website... now with private label our average service tickets are 20k lieftime unit replacement warranty- 10 year can't write a check gaurantee and filter replacement programs. 😀 everything works for the best. One thing I can agree with about carrier is, they did a nice job "circling the problem" ROFL 😂
Im stuck on if i should install a 7/8 or 1 1/8 suction line on a 5 ton unit that has a line set run of about 70 ft which way would you go.
I would definitely install 1" and eighth
@TaddyDigest that's the way I was leaning thanks for your opinion appreciate it.
