So what we’ve done is run this line that’s already got its insulation. And both this little area right here is where we tore the two apart to have a way to hold them together. Obviously, they can’t be the same together because they have one set back from the other.
We went through the first 25 footer on the a and you start these you adjust them very slowly. Don’t kink them. That’s a bad thing to kink copper and then you start over hand until they’re on their good Do not try to start them with a pair of wrenches or something because you can end up stripping it. That’s bad too.
Really bad. So take the time to shape the pipe so that you can put that on my hand almost all the way. You can usually do it. Then you can tighten it up with a crescent wrench or it’s a three quarter size and this is three quarter. And I think this one’s going to be like inch and a quarter.
I haven’t tried it. So we used crescent wrench to set this on. Then I shaped in so that it would be up against the wall, will end up building up a wall to hide it wrap it up in, so bugs won’t land on it and make nests on it, all that kind of stuff. And it will tend to blend in, but we still have two more runs.
Both of those are 50 foot and then we’ll I’m not showing you up there because I’m letting Drew do it, tightening it up. But it’s not something that’s impossible to do for somebody who doesn’t have the experience. So that’s why I’m telling you with quiet comfort that you can do this yourself. Now, you can’t get the freedom, you don’t have the gauges.
So when you go to 50 foot or anything beyond 25 foot per run, you will have to have somebody add freon to it .16 ounces per one foot past 25. Ok, It has it in it the ability to deal with 25 feet per run. After that, you have to add freon and we’ll have to see how that all goes.
I’ll let you know as we go along. Right now, he’s up in the attic getting sweaty just like me. See you in a bit.
