Good job by Gary, I mean we know SS would have asked that too. Happens to everyone, just glad 99.99999 % chance problem is solved ...Look at my voltage reading again… sonuva!

No assumptions made at all. I don't mind having someone remind me to check the basics any time I start diagnosing problems, so I assumed you wouldn't either.Thanks @justgary and @Plum Crazy Rob, don't assume I know anything lol.
That is a good question, since the linesets likely use aeroquip compatible sealed ends, the lines would be precharged for the system size... should be ok, if the equipment supports the line length.are we able to use mr.cool's extended linesets on any of the EG4 systems?
OK So ... Copper Bending
I have to bend the copper tubing coming out of the 12k unit so that it exits 180* out the other side.
Do you think it is best to bend it end over end, or 180* counter clockwise around the bottom?

Usually, the lines attached to the blower are wrapped in a spring.I am currently taking steps to install this 12k unit and as shown, the tubing is routed backwards from the right side and has to be bent. I am deathly afraid of effing this up.
Can anyone give me a clue about what worked for you?
And/Or purchase a set of Bending MandrelsI am currently taking steps to install this 12k unit and as shown, the tubing is routed backwards from the right side and has to be bent. I am deathly afraid of effing this up.

It is exceedingly difficult to get bending tools behind the unit...And/Or purchase a set of Bending Mandrels
They thread on like a keyringI was going to use a cheap bending tool since I can't see how to use a spring while the tubing have permanent connectors. It seems the bending tool has enough room if it's used before mounting the unit. Or am I missing something?
Ok, I did a little research on them earlier and I didn't see that. They were either slid over the pipe end or into the pipe. I'll look into that, thanks.They thread on like a keyring
Of course they are much easier to put on without an end on it, but they can be threaded on and off.Ok, I did a little research on them earlier and I didn't see that. They were either slid over the pipe end or into the pipe. I'll look into that, thanks.
Yes, rotating the lines is a simple pricess.What do we think of this method? Start at 13:10
Okay, closing the loop on this one! Finally got a chance to flip things and we are good to go! Thanks all for your help!Okay I think the problem has been solved! Look at my voltage reading again… sonuva! My wires are flipped and that is reading a negative voltage. I did change MC4 connectors so clearly I mixed those up when I flipped them ugh what a rookie mistake! New MC4 connectors ordered and I will flip the two.

Where did you mount the inside unit? I've been debating high on the wall or down low for easier cleaning of the evaporator coil. 18 foot ceiling.So I finally got to see how my two 24K mini splits would work cooling my 40 x 60 shop with 20' ceilings. One inch of spray foam
on all walls and sliding door. I have not addressed my door sealing issue yet, but it leaves me with at least 60 square inches of openings
for air leakage. I hope to address that soon. Yesterday, with temps in the 80's, the units ran all day, no clouds, and the shop got down to 65 degrees. Needles to say, I love my mini splits......cool shop no charge for the A.C. I guess I am going to have to hook up grid A.C. and run
the A.C. limiter to keep them going when clouds pass over. Today I had some no restart issues. Thanks SS for making my life easier.
