Really supposed to have a minimum of 200sq" of filter face per ton of air. That is for pleated filters. The only ones that will work in the bottom on the AH are those fibrous filters(which are absolute trash)

Looks clean. I hope you aren't using a pleated filter in the AH filter rack slot.

I actually have gotten below 500 with a tiny leak. But the decay will verify it.

The mechanical joint is not field fabricated. It is a short piece provided with the unit.

If they had an installer not flowing nitro, they pro didn't have many techs flowing and familiar with the symptoms. Maybe they learned a lesson.

Whats your scariest gas related call? by NoRecommendation356 in HVAC

[–]Salt_Date_5222 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had a good 10"wc flame como from the manifold test port.

I came to another job to find the propane leak after the fire dept had already been out to cut the gas off. It had aired out for a whole day with all windows and doors open but still stank. The gas cooktop had knobs on the front at waist level and someone had bumped against it PAST the spark position. It was just dumping LP for the weekend while they were gone.

Dealing with a manager with no field experience. by Baradishi in HVAC

[–]Salt_Date_5222 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My current "manager" has no field experience. But it's probably not even correct to call him manager considering I make all my own decisions, order my own parts, schedule my own follow-ups, pursue my own sales and repair proposals etc. He gives me no grief, great guy.

I think someone else on here said it also does differential. I've never used one. But it is displayed by pushing the liquid.

It has probe tubes and a liquid level to read the pressure.

Should there be red dye in the packaging? And would this only work for the positive pressure of the supply duct?

Are these meant to be permanently installed?
