I was outside working .I don't like the way that pan looks .it was 130f up there.drain is o.k. aux.drain and a float switch.
U.v. light and a 4 in. filter.and a filter in the ceiling .
look alright except for the crate under the pan?

[Lash]

No plenum on that return....flex right up to the filter?

[DPSwitch]

At 130....... I'd be happy with any result.

Well, I don't normally comment on others work, but since you asked, hope you don't think this is too critical............

1) I don't like the flex to the filter box, should have at least a short plenum on it to allow the air to spread out and slow down a little.

2) I don't like the line trap installed at such a high angle, and with the vent between it and the drain outlet........trap is not going to do anything.

3) Pan should be on a platform and the unit set on vibration pads and raised up a bit. If drains back up unit will sit in water and rust out.

4) I don't see a gas cock and the drip leg is blocking the filter access door?

Outdoors looks good though, did you run the lines up in that downspout behind the unit? That's a nice touch. I don't think I've ever seen a gas furncae installed upflow in a resi attic before, why not suspend it horizontal on trapzees from the rafters or on a platform, just curious, is that how you guys do them all where you are?

Wish I worked for you when I was a young apprentice doing installs in attics.

My bosses attitude was, "I don't care how hot it is, it better be right or you knuckleheads can go back and fix it on Saturday on your own time!":pain:

And, believe me, I did work a few free saturdays fixing stuff he didn't like.............and the kids wonder why I'm such a hardass.:tard:

[DPSwitch]

My point is .... when it got to 130......... I'd be long ass gone.

Ive spent half my life in attics at 130........I'm done.

If I have to do it, I plan accordingly.

I hear you there!:)

[Swampfox]

Me too, walked out of one Friday, told them see you Monday am, downstairs AC was still working

[Stephy]

I'm not about to be critical..........

Looks pretty good...

Ahem...............

Your defense is that you where outside? lol..............

Ya very seldom see a up flow in an attic around here, good for you......

You brought it to our attention..........

WTF is that jammed under the drain pan? The box the stuff came in?

Oh young grasshopper..............

I know, you were outside..........lol:joy::joy::joy::joy:

:D

[chucko615]

The gas cock has to be hidden behind those 2 X 6's. You can see the union, so it must be upstream from it.

[Mcool]

I was'nt about to go changing my helpers stuff that late. But yea I said something about the dripleg and he pulled the door and the filter still came out.

not the best drain either. I would 90 over tee down into a p-trap instead of a shallow trap.and the old crate .yea that looks bad.I ALWAYS put a p-trap insteead of run trap if possible.

It would look different if I was working up there.He got it done.Not exactly how I would have but not worth changing

the r.a. flex was already like that so thats how it stayed.

seriously I was piping and electrical on the condenser. Helper worked upstairs. he was 1 hour late that day and that did'nt improve my chances of helping much up there:biggrin:

[Mcool]

dudes worth having he's good. I don't know many I would trust to manhandle this furnace up the pulldown with a flatscreen on the wall beside it.

[Mcool]

heres a little cleaner job.

comment all you want .can only help me .
might learn something new.theres a good chance I know about it but it did'nt get done that way for one reason or another

stand units up in attics whenever we can . It's common

[Mcool]

like on that second one. the pan should be raised. and I should have a clean out tee at the top of that trap. copper could look straighter

[sarge]

#2 install static pressure is what.....1.2"w.c.?

[DPSwitch]

All in all........ looks like you've got decent help. You can teach the little stuff.

[Mcool]

I believe it was .82 on the carrier,I don't know on the second one .Why.

you think there would be high static on it?

[Mcool]

I can't remember but I'd say it's a 2 ton with 14 in. duct

[Mcool]

call back here water in pan .first thing I did was slant that stupid drain down. float switch caught it and aux. line off pan..clogged underneath house flushed with water and pressure.I like to see them pissing what I call it its nasty slang anyway before I leave.!

I know he flushed it with co2 gallo gun ,but I think it just clogged it into a lump. I already mentioned for us to gallo gun flush and cleaner or water.'
from now on. tightened up that pan too while I was there
and sold a maintenance agreement..yea boy

I knew kinda what the call might be about. I broke 24V in the float to t-Stat. t-stat coming on and off at unexplained times.

[rjb7112]

I am not that impressed with either but I am picky.

[zzonko]

I have started to not pipe secondary drains and I teach my guys that now too. I put a hockey puck float switch that shuts the unit down if there is any water in the pan. If there is water in the pan, the unit needs service.Since we started doing that we have not had 1 pan overflow.

Put a square to round on that return

[PSYCHOBILLY]

Whats up with that line set? That and there looks like there isnt any pitch on that overflow pan's pvc.

I agree those switches are the shizznit. one wire to red and one wire to yellow. Done.

Somebody better warn this fool

[Mcool]

I'll take critsism from people I know but I'll ..well...

[Mcool]

Besides I never been a fan of somebody talking about other people 's work and we've never seen his work posted.

Oh I won't I just feel like going off on somebody sorry. Im in a bad mood.

I'll be nice
I'll really try
You know I get bad mood swings:mrbill:

[Swampfox]

My 2 cents

If all people get is nit picking when they post their work, people wont post

if you have a specific question or suggestion, that is fine

if your just going to bash, you shouldnt post

[Abby Normal]

can you put like an auto lock on threads, like no one posts on them for 6 months they are closed?

[Swampfox]

I think so

there is also something that warns how old the thread is, Ive seen it on other forums

[phbsales]

can you put like an auto lock on threads, like no one posts on them for 6 months they are closed?

I didn't see the date of the OP.......:redface:

[Mcool]

Nobody's working around here.
There's no jobs to be found in hvac or otherwise.
A lot of people I know have lost their jobs no matter how long they been there.
Unless your an otr truck driver it don't look good
