    Again, great vid. I will be vacuuming my unit. However I won't be filling it with refrigerant until a few days later. Is it ok to vacuum it and charge it with refrigerant days apart?

      @@culture12ny We normally don't do this,we're done with the vacuum we charge the Unit but if you are gonna leave your gauges in there because as soon as you take your gauges off air is gonna go inside so i don't think you're gonna leave your gauges for a couple of Days

    Hi, after replacing a suction line and liquid line service valve do you perform the vacuum with both valves open? If so, wouldn't the vacuum pump pull compressor oil out of the system? Thanks

    After you finish your vacuum do you now open your service valves on your condenser?

    You make a point about removing the Schrader valve on the suction line why not remove it also on the liquid line for better vacuum

    • @arturolemus6926
      @arturolemus6926 Před rokem

      Yes, I agree; however, I noticed Paul showing only one core removal tool. Of course, 2 removal tools will allow you to have a less restricted flow therefore faster evacuation process.

      air will get in the system, as soon you disconnected the line. But you lucky enough the system still running ( ok) but ! Not running good as before you open up the line.
