Probably so. In defense of Jared or whomever sent those lines, the spec sheet incorrectly shows 1/4 and 3/8 - but obviously the flared non DIY style would never have been correct - maybe they were assuming OP would modify them.
).Always the biggest headache working in the auto industry. And the increasing *Classic* models where they continue selling the OLD body style vehicles along side the NEW body style vehicles. Chevy made things way more difficult than they needed to so they could sell over produced vehicles as current year.

In any case, I can help EG4 out here. ALL of your units - 12 and 24K Hybrid, non hybrid 9 and 12k use the same 5M 1/4 and 1/2 DIY (probably non optimal then) lineset (!

Thats what i'm thinking, and i'm wondering when i repair the line if i cut off 12 inches or less i guess, of the copper, ill probably make a few mistakes, how much that will affect the precharge, but i'm sure there is some calculations i can do
Pretty excited, I'm glad we already have a whole house heat pump, so this dedicated one I'm putting in the garage/shop isn't a huge need. I could just imagine me telling the wife, next week for sure babe, then 4 weeks later..Thank you Greg i appreciate that tip!
Fraction of the price, and no support at all.
That’s what I did with two 12-24v compressor RV refrigerators I got two to my door for $770.00. Still less than one and they do offer repair parts if you buy enough.
Maybe if i ordered one of those cheapie units, it would have the right lineset that i could pull and use, lol
Yes been making a lot of progress, I'll get some pics to update the thread, but i like to joke that I've become an amateur HVAC enthusiast
There’s a drain plug on the outdoor unit (condenser)?Yes been making a lot of progress, I'll get some pics to update the thread, but i like to joke that I've become an amateur HVAC enthusiast
Basically repaired line using 1/2 brass coupler deal, flaring the end. Did a pressure test, learned how to use the vacuum pump, learned a lot of really interesting skills. Sure could have saved money by hiring a local HVAC tech, but i want to know how this works, as much as i can.
System is basically working but i don't want to say that 100% yet, can't any water to come out of the drain plug so checking that today. AC worked great during testing yesterday for about 30 minutes to an hour, and then the same for heating. That is when i realized no condensation was coming out of any of the drain plugs, the one on the outdoor unit, and then the one connected by hose to the indoor.
Lets see what i can fix or break today
Hi Jared
I'd take a dry lineset option anyday. Vacuum would be needed and a tech onsite for $300 or so to complete it. At least the condenser could be located in a better situation.
Yup that is working, its on the bottom, and the other drain is also working now from the indoor had unit. just had the hoses kinked, seems like i like to kink things alot when installing, have to be more careful
I'll try to post more pics and longer description later. Plus i have all these cool tools, need to keep using them
