I've used Nylog in the past, mostly as a "if there's even a chance it can help prevent a flare leak, it's worth a shot" sort of thing. But I never really knew what was until I stumbled across this video which I found pretty interesting. Enjoy.

I just took delivery on a Goodman 2.5 Ton 15.2 SEER2 Condenser. Shipping box and pallet were pristine with absolutely no signs of damage. I pull off the shipping carton and unit likewise looks pristine. I happened to look into the unit from the fan grill and am seeing what I can only assume is...

I have a new gas furnace and AC system on the way and hope begin installing in the next week or so. I end up having to order a new base can/return plenum that looks like this: The plenum is uninsulated and will be located in an unconditioned space. I believe code calls for a minimum of R6...

It’s been unseasonably warm here and I fired up the AC a couple of days ago for the first time this year to drop the indoor temp a couple of degrees. I woke up the following morning to find room temp degrees higher than set point and the vents blowing room temperature air. I had a look at low...

This spring, I’m planning on replacing an 80% 75K BTU furnace and 2.5 ton Goodman split system installed when the house was built in 2000. The property is located in Virginia so I think I need a 15 SEER/14.3 SEER2 or higher and a minimum AFUE of 81%. The new AFUE requirement is a bit confusing...

My HOA doesn’t allow line set covers running on outside walls so my line set run is on the inside of my garage. The line set runs 6’ horizontally, then runs downward inside a stud bay approx. 7’ and out to the condenser. The NEC doesn’t allow running the SO cable inside a wall and doesn’t...

My Senville Leto 24K BTU mini split arrived late last week and I started installing the condenser and evaporator. The line set run is approx 18 to 19 feet so I ordered the Senville with the 25' line set option. I was ready to install the line set this morning when I noticed that the 5/8" tubing...

I’m doing the electrical rough-in and other prep while I wait for my mini split to arrive. My HOA doesn’t allow line set covers running on outside walls (yeah, I know) so I’ll have a 5’ horizontal run of covered line set inside the garage before I get inside the required stud bay, run down the...

My mini split (Senville Leto 24K BTU) is on order and I’m ordering the rest of the tools I need to get started with the install but I’m having a tough time deciding on a micron gauge. I’d like to keep it under $200 and I’m looking at Xetron Wireless Digital Micron Vacuum Gauge ($154), the CPS...

I’ve been looking at doing a DIY mini split install for my garage and I wanted to do everything above board including pulling electrical and mechanical permits. While my state has a licensing exemption for home owners doing their own work, I was pretty sure the mechanical permit to install the...

I’m looking to self-install at 24K BTU Senville Leto mini split in my garage (not insulated, 24 X 24, 15’ high ceiling). The house is located in large subdivision that has a very strict HOA so I’m somewhat limited regarding where and how the unit can be installed. The unit can’t be wall mounted...

First time poster here. I had the wonderful good fortune of finding one of these on CL and picked it up for $130 after a bit of haggling. It's in very good shape with minimal rust. Total run-out using a dial indicator with a steel dowel pin in the chuck is 0.003". The only issue I see that...
