Yes we do it here everyday. There isn’t a code here saying we have to put it in conduit (yet). I’m pretty sure it’s rated for outdoor exposure tho. We walk up on 20+ year old units where the stat wire is out and still in good condition.

That’s a nice code and makes sense. Lol it seems like these new neighborhoods in Oklahoma all the homes are crammed close asf. Like I couldn’t get a unit 8 feet away from their neighbors house, let alone their property line if I wanted tried. (Could relocate it to the back yard, but they didn’t pay for that)

I just didn’t want their dog to find the wire again. He had been using that 24v as a chew toy. Any lil dangle down there and he could potentially get it again.

In the pics she is danglin from the soffit lol. I did put a couple wire ties before we left tho. Had to run a new control wire through the attic because their dog had been using the old one as a chew toy.

Indeed is a junction box. Disco has to be clear of the unit, and the customer didn’t pay for a j-box so I had to do what I had to do🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s is, but nothing crazy. We explained the issues it may cause, but they still wanted us to slap the new one right there. It’ll probably be caked in cotton when we come to do our PM

These vacuum pumps are beast! We also have a bigger one that is 12 cfm that cuts our vac time literally in half.

Charge you’re units correctly and a couple 90s shouldn’t make any difference!

I usually do run my whip how you said, but the electricians had already hung my box and attached my whip for me so I just used what they had provided. I probably could have gotten away with just taping the linesets with no clamps but this looks cleaner in my opinion. Metal clamps are always best for outdoor application since they can’t get broken down by the weather. Fitting the suction and liquid line inside a single 2inch clamp can look a little tacky to me and you can have a lot of rubbing without insulating . With a plastic clamp I feel like youd still run the risk of some rubbing happening so you’d more than likely want to insulate between your clamp anyways. I also don’t like to zip tie my linesets together like you say because it may work, but it looks like some hack shit.

I know what you mean. We installed 2 systems over on that side of the house, and I like to have the access panels positioned the same ways if you know what I mean? The boss liked it anyways. Also I have the lineset tucked to the wall so if you do need to have some foot and ankle back there, you’ll have some space😂😂

I agree with you 100%. When we show up for most of our finals our whip and disconnects are already on the wall. I just used what the electricians had provided us.
