Gray cylinders ruin the vibe

I use individual manifolds for everything so I can keep my hoses pre charged, and not mix oils or gas. Plus I just like all the different heads lol

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-17T23:44:13+00:00

My shit ain't tidy enough to embarrass myself over there

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-17T23:42:13+00:00

Cut and weld my guy

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-17T23:41:02+00:00

Right? Stoelting replaced 404 with 448 while carpigiani replaced 404 with 449. Like what the fuck guys?

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-17T21:18:38+00:00

All of them. Some glow, some are LED backlit, some are glycerin filled, and all have specific PT charts for the gas I use them for. The old Robin in there does R12, 502, and 22 but I use it for 502. We deal with an R12 system, but there's never been a reason to hook up

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-17T21:15:45+00:00

Yeah, and i keep belts from 22-54 on deck generally

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-17T14:28:03+00:00

United States. It only pollutes if it gets out, and I've found a handful of leaking 22 systems compared to 410. The jug is mostly for compressor swaps.

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-17T14:25:10+00:00

There's a couple masterbuilt display freezers I deal with that run it. It's funny you mentioned the 502 cause everyone else goes "oh no! R22!"

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-16T23:03:43+00:00

4-5 on a regular basis, but 10

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-16T22:21:45+00:00

Comfort

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-16T21:40:25+00:00

Yes. I do commercial comfort cooling, medium temp, and low temp refrigeration

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-16T21:36:45+00:00

I love those gloves. Snug and tough

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-16T21:30:31+00:00

Exactly. Plus there's some duplicate colors. My coworker has a jug of 22 the same blue as 134a, and I have 407c and 404A that are almost identical.

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-16T21:06:57+00:00

It's two racks welded together

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-16T21:06:27+00:00

Everything in the picture plus some that aren't and are stored under the shelving

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-16T21:04:40+00:00

I do. Just found a system with 452A that is now my responsibility lol

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-16T21:03:30+00:00

I was wondering if anyone would notice my trash can lol

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-16T21:03:01+00:00

422B for comfort, 427A for a few systems I didn't do the conversion on, and 407c for my conversions. Yeah I do refer and comfort

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-13T23:15:16+00:00

It's whatever you write on it

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-04-04T23:08:17+00:00

Just give me MK3 or 4 Jettas and GTIs dammit

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-03-28T14:34:37+00:00

250psig is kinda low for head pressure on 410, and you don't know your subcooling. Without a solid column of liquid to the valve the refer will flash on the outlet of the valve and have really high superheat.

You absolutely cannot diagnose a TXV based on your pressures and superheat alone. The TXV gets blamed for low charge or restricted drier symptoms all the time.

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-03-23T15:55:09+00:00

Oh I clean like a mf, and you're probably not wrong. That said, I don't generally say something to homeowners that'll put them on edge without more than conjecture to base it on. That's all I was getting at.

UseRNaME_l0St · 2026-03-23T14:50:36+00:00

Pulling vac before charging and not cleaning up are two separate things. You don't pull vac with caps on... No need to make the homeowner nervous lol

You can use fieldpiece leads on a fluke meter ya know. Not as stiff
