I love the installation video, extremely well laid out for anyone to understand. I do have one question that I couldn't find an answer to in your video. You cut the line set instead of using the prepped ends. What the minimum line set length requirement for a prefilled inverter like that?
question???….I unroll the tubing and conected to the minisplit valveles and open it the valve of the gas….now i want to close the gas valves from the A/C. to put it the tubing to the size because I have to much tubing coil and looks bad…can i close the valvules to cut to the size i want or what I have to do for fix it.
Good work on the HVAC system but as a commercial/industrial electrician the electrical is sub standard in my professional opinion.
Very informative.
Hello Craig. I just purchased your inverter min split book. I am going to install two mini splits in a rental and a new gas furnace and central air conditioner in my home. I was wondering what size nitrogen tank I should buy? Thank you for the great content.
How much would this cost for the install
is that just a disconnect without the fuses installed? the power is coming from the breaker inside right?
Hello guys… do you guys sell a troubleshoot books?
This is the second time you've guided me to successfully installing a mini split. Thank you
Awesome information that I will definitely use , those cheap crimp on electrical connections I would upgrade. I've had those cause issues in many 12v automotive applications .
Hi Craig, awesome video! Thank you so much for the time you put into this and the attention to detail.
One question, I am installing a multi zone system that does have a service port one the liquid side, I’m assuming I would need to connect to this for pressure testing and/or vacuuming? 49:50
Thank you!
This helped me DIY install a mini split. Other than paying for electrician, everything else was DIY and its working fantastic. I really appreciate the attention to detail on the lineset evacuation. I almost guarantee theres tons of hack hvac techs out there who dont bother the small steps like turning the valves on and off to release air trapped in them, purging all the lines properly. My unit is running fantastic…now after $1000 worth of tools to get here between vac pump, manifolds, nitrogen tanks, micron gauge, valve core removers, vacuum hoses…almost feel like I need to install more!!!
I just purchased your book!
You mean you don’t spend 900 bucks on the junk line set covers ? Lol
any refrigeration man would cut out flare fittin a SOLDER if you cant call some one, same with mobil home colman leakr allways
it does matter about holes in the wall use a stud finder and no guessing
Thank you sir for this detailed video. I tried pulling a vacuum with 2 core remover tools as you did but for some reason it wasn’t working. I possibly had a leak but everything seemed tight. Once I removed the the valves and hooked up the micron gauge in between the pump and low side valve I was able to achieve a vacuum at 100 microns. Is there anything you think I might have been doing wrong? I ordered the same core remover tools you linked in the description section. Thank you
I came here to say THANK YOU! Your video helped me do an entire installation that I otherwise would have failed. The way you detailed every step was incredible and I referenced this video so many times in the last week. Full story here: https://youtu.be/FfaazFvt6Dk
where can i get one of those templates so i can see if where i want to place the head unit will actually fit? the area i have for one of these is over a window and i have little room to slide one of these around with out having some type of template to make sure i do have the room. i was looking at the confortotal unit but they can't seem to get me a template. so if i can get a template for your unit i can make sure it will fit and then get one of those units?
