      @@emmanuelalvarez4204 I believe he is referring to the two water diverting brackets he forgot to switch.
      Looking at the front side of the coil there is a water diverter fastened to the coils left side tube sheet by three screws. It needs to be removed and reinstalled on the coils right side tube sheet. Make sure it is reinstalled into the upper most hole of the coils right tube sheet and then the other two screws will line up. Now flip the coil around to the back side and remove the diverter bracket located on the right side coil tube sheet. Remove it and reinstall it to the left back side tube sheet of the coil. The second hole of the water diverter needs to line up with the first hole in the coils tube sheet. If the other two screws line up with holes in tube sheet you got it installed correctly. Slide the coil back in place and button her up exactly like Zack showed us in this FINE video. I'm visually assuming this is a 3 or 4 ton. Hope this is helpful sir.

      Word of mouth referrals are the best method to obtain new customers. Some companies treat their customers as if they can't talk to everyone they know. I have seen word of mouth about a shoddy installer put him out of business. My company never had to even advertise. Our two co-owners set out from the start to treat customers right. These customers then did all the advertising. We always had more work than we could do.

I do industrial stationary work on 900 and 1200 ton chillers, cooling towers and huge AHU's, MAU's and large CRAHS now. The field service was a marriage of hard work, long hours, and road warrior miles. Grateful for that experience to work on residential, commercial and industrial HVAC and refrigeration. I DON'T miss it. 😉 The technology of the new equipment and tools is fascinating. Keep up the clean and impressive work young man.

      I agree, although the duct should fully pressurize eventually if sized and endcapped correctly, rule of thumb is within the 1st 3 to 4 feet of air leaving the fan coil, heater, or whatever you have, don't have any takeoffs within that distance. If you have no choice, install a scoop to help. The installation looks clean though, makes a big difference.

      @dgapp76 2 года назад +2

      @@lowe_30 splash guards are usually installed on box coils and sometimes slab coils. Since the evap coil is on the other side of the blower away from the supply plenum, it's unlikely you would have water splashing over into the supply plenum. Sometimes clogged or improperly installed drain lines or traps can cause water to overflow into the cabinet of the air handler and make its way into the supply or return plenums. A good drain switch like an SS2 or SS1 helps prevent that.

    Great work! A couple things I would do different though. Not that your way is wrong or not code worthy, again great work. 1 there's no need for liquid tight (not to mention it's expensive), I'd use flex conduit. 2 I'd typically build a trap for a negative pressure box. I try to get a 3" difference just to be sure it doesn't prematurely/intermittently drain into the secondary. 3, I would only use a safety switch on the secondary and also make sure it drains into a conspicuous location. 4, I would also (especially since you're not brazing) use the factory rubatex and make it all one piece instead of using that split stuff. Other than that, everything looks great and your work is better than 90% of the stuff out there! Keep up the good work, dude!

    We had a seminar at Ferguson a little while back trying to sell those quick clamp copper fittings , there is no way in hell I'd ever go for that crap. I could see very isolated circumstances where one would come in handy on a retrofit application where brazing was just not possible due to limited space or dangers of an open flame... But other than that there is no way I would ever use that mess. Clean looking install the only thing that we do extra we also add a drain float on the metal Pan itself, probably ultimately unnecessary but I feel better giving the customer that extra protection.
