A lot of patient work there bro and the position is so difficult but it on stop you very hard work I never knew about those valve small ac I work on doesn't have that
have you made a video of dangers of reading across legs and getting 0 volts. always check to ground. i bet that pump at 21:40 was only breaking one leg.
When you unsweat these vslves do you not introduce nitrogen and if done this way will it csuse problems later wirh carbon build up ? I am going to repace a reversing vlsve.
What do you do when you have a water loop port that keeps dripping like that? I run into that quiet a bit when servicing Geo's and it gives me concerns that the loop will get low because of the drip, granted the cap pretty much stops the drip.
Gotta love the Geo repairs… at least it wasn’t in a crawl space lol. Those erratic drain faults on the Waterfurnace will typically lead to a faulty board in the near future.
If anyone wants a quick way of replacing the reversing valve all you have to do is take your blade of a sword or or hacksaw and instead of heating them all up and trying to pull them out you cook close to the actual reversing valve then you can individually pull on each one while heating it and cleaning it off
So what's the benifit of putting a gt unit over a traditional A/C unit? This unit looks just as complicated as an A/C or hvac unit. I was under the impression that a gt system didn't need a compressor and all the same stuff as an HVAC. I was looking into GT to cut my energy cost. This is confusing to me.
They have a new coil and compressor they should go ahead and change the reversing value and they have almost a new unit but it goes that way sometime I have been a service tech for 23 yrs and saw it many times that’s just how it is
Sounds like that geothermal system cost the owner more money in service calls, repairs and parts. Then they will ever save on energy efficiency.. and just think of it it’s not even cold yet.
I hope you guys enjoy the video
Stay tuned reversing valve refrigerant flow explained at the end.

great repair. such a horrible position to work in. amazing you got it done.
Thank you it was tough
Wow nice Job in Fl we pull out the whole water source to work on it in our shop Due to fire hazard Regulations in Bldgs and Condominiums
Wow.
That regulation, our code seems a little excessive
Would you or have you replaced another reversing value?
Did you have to braze in any capillary tubes?
Your the man Taddy 👍
What size turbo torch did you use? Did you use stay brite #8? Thanks Tad.

Gotta get you a set of feildpeace probes and use measure quick. If your a good tech with out digital probes, it’s like getting a super power.
I will check out the fieldpiece probes Thanks Marc

Very nice tips

If the cap stops the leak then I would not worry about it if it's shooting out very fast at a steady stream. Then definitely order another p t port
Good work
Good tip!
well done
Stuck in the middle position. Doesn’t happen often hopefully the compressor is ok

I hope the board isn't bad, but I think it may
Gotta use those pan tabs on a water furnace. Your drain faults will disappear.

yes absolutely agree

all geo units have compressors only difference is they have a water coil
yes..i always check rev valve TD if things are weird/bad evap split/noisey compressor carrier resi doesnt make it so easy though =(

that what I was thinking
bad compressor internal leak.
I’ve only had to do one reversing valve on one of those units. I hated every minute of it
Pee water cool better😂
lol 😆 😂
Dang that’s a shitty repair… 2500$+ right?
$1400
let me know what you think 🤔
@@TaddyDigest sounds about right…. As much as I would like to have charged 2500$ probably wood have been right at 14-1500$
