Can an air conditioner / refridgeration mechanic help me?

Filed Under HVAC 

KerrieFromDarlingDowns asked:

We are installing a split system air conditioner where there is gas in the internal unit, and trying to connect it to the outdoor unit. How do we connect the pipes without letting all the gas out.

      if you are replacing the a coil with a new one it is charged with nitrogen and it is ok to let it out it will have to be replaced with the freon. If you are soldering the parts together it is not possible to solder without discharging the “a” coil if you are installing a quick disconnect system there are “o” rings in the ends and the ends have a diaphragm seal that is pierced as you tighten it up. put a small am mount of refrigeration oil on the fittings and threads before tightening and start the threads by hand. the “o” rings will minimize the leakage while you tighten them down. this small amount of leakage is acceptable by the EPA. the freon comes precharged in the outside section of the AC.
