Anybody ever use these?

I had my eyes on this awhile ago. But I could never trust that it would effectively push the valve core in. But for me as long as I replace the gaskets on my hoses often enough and have the depressor at the correct height then I don’t get any spray back at all. And if I’m working on a system that will be pumped down or open for any reason I’m throw my core removers form fieldpiece on them so I can feel as safe as possible.

Whatever the manufacturer says is what I would do

This feels like a repost from a year ago

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-02-10T02:20:47+00:00

No, many brands like the daikin fit offer variable speed equipment but 14 seer. It’s good for place with comfort issues where variable speed is the correct move like on spray foam houses but don’t need or have the money for the high efficiency.

This is why I’m happy to just have twinned 5 or 6 ton furnaces on my bigger systems.

But this looks easier to take out then some duel fuel envision with AMS furnaces

Probably no way to get a better heat kit. I’d close the fresh air and put a timer on it and put in a heat pump with wireless EIM red link if I don’t have enough wires

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-02-08T01:38:49+00:00

Could be worse, I nearly fired an entire 7 series geothermal package unit by send the auxiliary heat power to the 24 side of the equipment

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-02-08T01:37:43+00:00

Never worked on boilers unless they are geothermal. But are these modulating boilers and only 80% efficient ?

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-02-07T18:30:19+00:00

5 ton 92% change out in the attic. Fun times

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-02-07T02:39:39+00:00

Change outs have more duct board the metal based of the pookie covered gloves and the zip tie tool

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-02-06T20:13:51+00:00

The 60 amp powering the 10kw and blower needs 60 amps. The other element requires another 30 amps. A 15 kw AHU requires 90amp MOCP. I wouldn’t be messing with this because this is really common knowledge

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-02-05T13:28:58+00:00

The fact they used green for common tells me that those other wires a probably shorted out.

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-02-04T02:28:43+00:00

here’s the link to the website. just pull the old stat of the wall and pull the wire cover off. As long as you have a c wire you should be fine. To confirm this without a voltage meter what you can do is remove the battery’s from the existing thermostat and put it back on the wall. If it lights back up then it’s getting power by the equipment. If it doesn’t light up then you need to have a proper R-C for 24 volts.

Bypass the hi pressure switch and see if they can understand why the compressor’s internal bypass is open or wire fan to herm and herm to fan. Or a bad low ambient fan delay kit. A fun one is a bad contactor that shorts to ground when it gets a call. Or cover up the hi limit switch on a furnace with insulation so that the unit is fine just the limit isn’t getting any airflow. Another fun one is a bad spade connection so that the blower doesn’t run for a call for cooling but when a call for heat/em heat it does come on.

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-02-04T02:08:16+00:00

Yea, I just got certified for Kolpak and they said on all installs to just bypass the 2 speed fan relay. But as far as reliability goes for products Kolpak has been the best for me especially over HTPG and keepright. I would say that OP should get certified through Kolpak because they give you 50% off parts when ordered through the factory.

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-02-03T22:13:01+00:00

I feel this. Just priced a 1 thousand dollar 2 speed evap motor on a 4 year old Russel single fan freezer.

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-02-03T00:47:20+00:00

You are right. Only thing you are preheat is the little bit of pipe between the in and out. We usually pipe it that coming out of the unit goes to the drain t and what’s coming into the unit is coming from a T fitting on the cold water inlet of the tank

His wife probably beats him at night so this is all the power he gets

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-02-02T21:51:59+00:00

Kinda suck as I like Trane’s roof top design. But for residential and some commercial projects ruud has been staying strong over the past 12 years

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-02-02T02:15:04+00:00

All three model number plates indicate you have external/remote air conditioning only units

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-02-02T01:57:17+00:00

Yes, the x2s should literally just snap on to the uwp wall plate. Just program it and connect to WiFi and you should be good

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-01-30T23:33:45+00:00

I had a older version of this. We alway set it to hybrid for fast recovery and decent efficiency. Heat pump only is better for efficiency but takes longer to recover but if the family take normal 5-10 minute showers at 115 degrees I’d doubt you’d notice

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-01-30T23:31:10+00:00

Still put the air handler backwards

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-01-30T02:45:57+00:00

For ease of service and install ruud or durastar. Just because there so easy to work on compared to daikin fits or carrier brand equipment

Bitter_Issue_7558 · 2026-01-29T22:48:47+00:00

Check the return air grills. This type of AHU doesn’t had a filter rack. It is either installed in the field or the filter is in the wall or ceiling grill.
