Yeah I wouldn't want to pay that much for each tool head, I'm going to inquire at my local shop if they have a loaner so I could try before I buy. I'd like to give it a shot myself before I discredit the product as being useful. I can see the ease of flexibility really helping out in those situations where running new lines is very difficult.
I agree I havent dismissed it . Honestly its likely the way of the future . I think it will have an application . Impossible linesets where they must be fished . I also love the idea of few joints and brazed comnections . I come across way to many plugged screens and driers where lack of nitrogen and skill when brazing is apparent. I was surprised by how rigid the product is very similar to kitec water pipe with the metal liner, it eliminates the possibility of tight radius bends which can only improve flows. Anyone on the service side is inevitably going to have access to crimp tools in the future. I really do believe there will a huge reduction in cost in them as the product catches on. I hate being the first guy to try anything been there too many times. I will sit back and wait and watch while all the ultra cost conscious contractors are the guinea pigs
Doesn't anybody view this as another step towards DIY. Brazing copper is a skill set not everyone can do, professional, something I can sell to people. When any half wit can do it doesn't our value as a professional diminish?
That describes a lot of techs today!
Yes, I agree. I don't like it either I see more and more of it now as compared to when this thread was started. I even see the white insulated line sets with four conductor run in them which actually is really handy if you think about it, if you're using it for medium temp refrigeration or AC I guess.
We stock it in traditional system sizes. We have limited quanities of the mini split sizes.
Excellent, where are you located? Could you send me contact information. My email should be shown under my profile.
