We already focus on the more “masonry” part of the air conditioning machine’s entire installation using the ac repair in my area. In this phase, we place the sheet of the interior console, we make the hole in the wall to pass the tubes and cables, and we place the supports of the exterior machine.
Mounting The Indoor Console and Outdoor Unit
We continue the work with the copper pipes. We are stretching the copper roll gently to make it as straight as possible, and we tape the tip so that no dust or moisture enters; we introduce it through the hole, up to about 15 cm more than where the threads of the indoor unit on the floor below. With the collaboration of an assistant and a tube bender or bending spring, in this case, we are shaping the tube, making gentle curve angles until we reach the condensing unit; we leave the tube in it gently facing the valves and cut it with a pipe cutter leaving a margin of about 10 cm more.
Once the shape of the tubes has been determined, for more comfort, we extract them from the hole (in this case because it is a measure greater than 2 m) to work more comfortably, and we are placing the armaflex tube little by little without forcing it that is easily punctured or punctured. The sections of armaflex are 2 m long, so we must join one section with the next with insulating tape, to avoid humidity. We place the gutters that will protect the tubes, and we cover them.
Cut Tubes
We already have the gutters and the tubes about to flare in place. We give the tube a smooth curve to ideally face the valve, and we proceed by cutting the tube with a tube cutter; the small tube cutter is usually of greater precision. Note we must leave a small margin of 1.5 to 2 cm more when cutting. We place the thread and proceed to the flare, leaving the thread already placed; beware of this, if you do not have to cut the flaring to place it if we have forgotten, it is a widespread failure.
We are turning the flare to shape the tube, to know the exact measurement to be flared, an easy method is to use the copper plugs that had the threads placed in the equipment, we must match their measurement, as seen in the photo, and we will go doing laps and measuring until we reach the appropriate width. The third photo shows the failure mentioned above, and we have flared without placing the thread before. What can we do to the cooling system?
