Hey Mitch, I commented a few months ago that I was looking to get into the HVAC trade over in Perth, and just now have started as a mature age apprentice! I kid you not, your videos have helped a bunch in having a basic idea of how aircon units work (especially mini splits), which has helped give me a nice headstart in my first couple weeks! Love your work and your vids mate.
Great job as always. Love watching your videos, because unlike American ones I can actually understand pressures and temperatures 😂. Just keep up the good work 💪. Greetings from Croatia!
Well done Mitchel, very neat tidy Daikin install, i do Agree with you with your Philips adapter, less fiddling around.. I hope new roof guttering is installed there soon, we don't want the new Daikin swamped with storm water 😉 👍 nsw
Hey Mitch love ya videos been watching for ages I use to hate the trade but you and a few other things have really made me love the trade again quick question though. I see on your high side you don’t have a Schrader depressor for your vacci-stat when you put the unit in positive pressure do you find that the gauge gets oil/gas in it and you have to clean it often or have you never had a problem. Cheers mate lots of love from a high quality split/ duct basher
@@tomcridland9422 thanks mate, I appreciate it. So you’re not the only person who has asked me this. I tried to make the most simply setup I could. By simple I mean, as little fittings as possible that could potentially be a leak point when pulling a vacuum. That’s why there is no depressor. When I unscrew the cps vac stat, the schreader pin goes from being pushed in to not pushed in. I personally (and am happy to be told I’m wrong) don’t see how it could let in air or moisture that quick. The pin goes from being pushed in to not pushed in within a second of me unscrewing the vac stat. Any way, like I said, you’re not the only person to ask about this or point it out so I decided I’m going to do a test and put 2 vac stats on a system and see if taking one off ruins the vacuum. I’ll keep you posted man. Appreciate the input. Cheers
Thanks mate. So it obviously depends on what size button head screw you’re using but the screws that come with Daikin split systems that I would consider button head definitely fit. I’ll show you an example next video. Cheers
Dude, what product do you use to patch the hole after you put the pipes through? I am interested in concrete walls. I'm from Europe and a lot of cement is intended only for thin layer application... Thank you
Check out the mini cranes they use in India mounted on condenser brackets absolute game changer. I have one of them genie lifters so dangerous when you take weight off. Nearly took my head off first time I used it
Yeah I’ve seen them online mate. I’ve got this genie lifter and I have access to a condenser wind up lifter. I just used this one because it’s the easiest to transport. I’ll look into cranes though, they look cool.
I’m going to fit a ducted underfloor due to my asbestos roof. Doing all the mounting etc so I can just get my electrician and ac guy in for the final fit off. What’s the best setup for the return air when underfloor .My Plenum has twin 350mm intakes , I’m 600 off ground and want max cooling in se qld , heating is not as important as cooling. Should I just run some sort of boxed flue inside up a wall and a grill upto near ceiling height so it draws the hot air in from the inside instead of just ambient air from under the house ?
@@jasonhall5101 how big is the unit in kW? I’d just put the return air vent where ever it’s possible. As long as it’s big enough it will be fine. Being an underfloor setup, you can only do things under the floor unless you’re building bulkheads or something like that. As long as you have sufficient airflow, I’d be more concentrating on where to put the supply vents.
Those drivers.. I can't tell if you're joking or not, but they sell them in America I think. At least last time i looked. I'm gonna have to check next time I go to the hardware store.
You guys need to give the condenser more clearing if you are truly a professional the condenser is too close to the side of the house and the height a little bit too tall should be 8 feet at max buddy. Come on you guys do nice work, fix clearing up the condenser between the house, please
@@mikehill5678 Daikin specifies a minimum of 100mm clearance at the back and on all my installs it’s 150mm clearance at the back. So according to Daikin, it’s fine. What clearance do you recommend? I’m still learning so I’ll take what ever advice I can get.
Mitchell those are mandatory in the HVAC field in America I am blown away that you guys do not use those in Australia I would not have it any other way
You can buy a set of four to six of them from DeWalt from any American supplier and I'm sure they wouldn't have any problem shipping it to you Amazon carries them like crazy

@@MarcusHanly that’s awesome mate. You chose a booming trade so good work. I hope you enjoy it! Cheers
Pleasure to watch a master craftsman at work.
Keep them comming!
Thanks mate. I try my best, definitely not a master though. Cheers
WAS THINKING THE SAME
just purchased from your store, good price. It looks nice, once it works for me will recommend more people to buy.
Awesome thanks for the support. I hope you like it mate.
Great job as always. Love watching your videos, because unlike American ones I can actually understand pressures and temperatures 😂. Just keep up the good work 💪. Greetings from Croatia!
Haha how good is the metric system
I love my Phillips bit but I’m keen to give this a try and support a bloke having a go. Can’t wait to get it in the mail. 👍
Haha thanks mate. Just out of curiosity do you use any of the ones I showed in the video at the start?
@@maracservices IRWIN 89mm PH2 Impact Pro Performance is my go to. Not too long not too short.
Dude those driver bits are mad. I'll definitely be getting some off you.
Awesome 🤙🏼

Thanks mate. Yeah the gutters are on the list of things to do apparently!
Amazing work and thank you very much, greetings from Iraq ☺️
Thanks mate !

Thanks mate!
@@maracservices The online shop looks so good! Let me know when you guys start shipping to NZ 😊
Hey mate love the videos, any chance for shipping over to NZ?
Hey mate, I’m currently working on this as there are a couple kiwis interested so I’ll keep you posted!
Nice looking bit , think it would go over button head ???
Thanks mate. So it obviously depends on what size button head screw you’re using but the screws that come with Daikin split systems that I would consider button head definitely fit. I’ll show you an example next video. Cheers
In the uk they sell this bit holder everywhere mate
@@cohenyoel83 that’s awesome. I have no idea what’s going on over here

Yeah dude I bought one for tight access. They definitely work.

Installs 10k worth of aircon, but the home owner doesn't replace the gutter that is completely rusted through lol

Im not joking mate. I’m in Sydney and our local hardware store “Bunnings” legit doesn’t sell them anymore. It’s weird to say the least!
