A walkthrough for RLS press fittings in HVACR

A short video of a step by step process for using press fittings in various HVACR applications. Although, we're only installing a 3/8" bi-flow filter drier here...the same steps apply for any fitting being used.

The minute he dropped that filter dryer on the ground and not cleaning it prior to attaching it to the unit😂

Sometimes change is hard come by. I've used water and a/c press fittings and have not had a leak . Keep up the good work.

[wendelltillery]

That was such a good explanation of the process that you could do the demonstrations for RLS 👌

Just came across your video, thanks for sharing your experience! Great demonstration! We go by RLS now after our partnership with parker ended.

I dont know why people have issues with leaks. We use them on the heads of mini split installs. One less flare!! Love RLS. Havent used them on dryers. Good idea. I did have an issue last week when I put the fitting on it pulled the gasket out. Since then, I put a little nylog on the pipe and that helps slide the fitting over without pulling gasket out.

How about the oil in side line and as u deber the jnside the flakes get in pipe and very hard to make sure u get them all out, so when u put that on it makes a higher risk of missing a flake

What type of filter dryer do you use with those ends on it?

1:47 - I hope you didn't ask to borrow that man's phone after knowing what he just did in the background of your video! I used the RLS (Rapid Locking System) tools and fittings for the first time yesterday on a walk-in cooler and had leaks on every fitting. Note to self: the center of the jaws _do not_ go over the rib where the o-ring is in the fitting! I needed to _Read the Fabulous Manual_ before starting.

In tight situations and where there not much stub remaining, I have had issues removing the couplings

[miguelquiroz]

That's great. I saw a test and this can hold up to 4000 psi... copper is seal plus the o ring. I think it can hold for many years ..

The joint is leak, ,, leak but should be changed again, right?

[joecox]

if next time you need to change dryer again, what can you do? your pipe would be short after you cut the press fittings

[mylesm]

That drier connection is pipe dia. Not connector dia. ???

[thomasmcdonald]

The filter Dryer should always be installed inside of the house close to the evaporator coil to prevent corrosion from the outside elements.

Thank you!! Helpful review. Appreciate it

[hmdwn]

But what about vibrations, heat/cold cycles, longevity before it starts to leak?

[Ridehighfxdb]

I get the jobs where you are working in a tight space where you can’t get a torch or like in a place where you need burn permits or fire watch but outside at a condenser is useless I could have had that brazed in half the time it took you to press it

[yazbakri]

On a new installation this won’t work on the copper that goes into the valve correct?

[markrael]

What do you do when connecting to a evap coil/service valve/compressor that comes with a swedged end on it?

What brand 3/8 jaw is that I can’t seem to find a Milwaukee that makes that siz e
