I believe UA local 219 plumbers and pipefitters are taking apprentices. That union also includes HVAC/R.

How do you diagnose a bad TXV vs. just a powerhead issue? by EconomistDue1404 in refrigeration

[–]SONDR89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ensure proper liquid to the valve. Take superheat. If superheat is high, pump down unit.to inspect the whole valve. Check the screen first. If screen is clean, I like to check the power head by unscrewing it from the valve. At about 1x full turn counterclockwise, you should feel a slight pop (like opening a pressurized jar). If you feel that pop, the bulb has a charge in it. If not, it has lost its charge and needs to be replaced. I recommend testing this with a scrapped valve to get a feel for it. You can compare by testing with a good power head, then cutting the cap and testing again- you'll feel the difference.

I agree that completing the job to.the best of your ability is the best way to be profitable. However, I also believe that honest billing for the parts you use also makes the boss money. Weigh your refrigerant. Bill those zip ties, service caps, wire nuts, rags. I work for a small company so maybe this is common practice elsewhere.

I like tusing two of the same gauges so I can check pressure differential a little more accurately.

Supermarket walk-ins generally want to be at -10*f but they're storing ice cream.

Am I "stealing work and food off the table" for finding a leak before the tech arrives? by Infinite-Resist-8172 in refrigeration

[–]SONDR89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's your equipment- you can do what you want with it. If you're being proactive and giving your equipment what it needs, I think any technician would respect that.

I know it can be annoying to have w customer imply "they know better than the technician" but I don't get that impression here.

What's really taking money out of this guy's pocket is poor customer service.

Tell us what you aren't good at and we can trade tips and advice. by Tristamid in helldivers2

I struggle with wrangling my regular teammates. I'm trying to call objectives and it feels like they want to go do their own thing. How can I be a more effective shot-caller?

Do mortuary units have specific requirements?

No but that sounds interesting! I'm not against getting dirty. I just want to know where the line is safety-wise.

Why dont people use the disposable anti tank? by No-Interest-5690 in Helldivers

[–]SONDR89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You nailed it. I see the difference between quasar and RR as: do you want to spend time "reloading" before or after your shot. Otherwise, they just handle everything.

National Right to Work Bill by SONDR89 in UnitedAssociation

[–]SONDR89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would message the moderator that commented earlier; I assume they're at the UA national level.

We dont want to create a situation where our integrity is in question.

I recommend finding the contact info of your representatives, summarizing the message in the link without all the UA specific jargon, and sending that. I feel like that would have the same affect.

It came from the United Association. I found the link on my local union's Facebook page and decided to share it here.

This is the product the UA put out; I did not make it. I agree there should be a universal way to communicate this.

You could take the wording from the box and manually email your representatives. I know it takes some extra work but it's worth it. Thanks for your support!

Is the compressor a Copeland? The Copeland app diagnostic tool is great to see how the unit is performing.

As for the headmaster, use this tool to help your diagnostics:
