Casper Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 So this copper pipe is leaking. Looks like it's leaking from the valve. I can tell you it runs to the a/c outside, but beyond that I have no idea. It seems to be leaking water though, which makes no sense in my mind. Whatever it is, it's rusting and makes a small puddle on the ledge of the furnace. A) What is it? B) How much will you charge me to come fix the damn thing? http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs212.snc4/38950_592759473607_50608759_33752635_3501750_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs232.snc4/38950_592759478597_50608759_33752636_8124477_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs232.snc4/38950_592759483587_50608759_33752637_1124012_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs093.ash2/38002_592759498557_50608759_33752638_315798_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs246.snc4/39630_592759463627_50608759_33752634_7899796_n.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 it's condensation from the line. That's what I thought, but that much of it? What do I do to keep it from rusting the thing to shit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 not sure mine is directly over the concert floor right next to my floor drain. lay a towel down over that area and replace it once a week or as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I don't think it's just condensation. It seems to be coming out of the valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I'm not an HVAC guy, but that would appear to be the hp line connecting to the a-coil. There's no water in that pipe lol, but the line is wrapped to help keep the it cold while on it's way from the outside compressor to the a-coil. I think condensation is normal, but theres usually some sort of drip pan IIRC..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTHER91 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 There's an app. Fir that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 its probably low on refrigerant and the a-coil (evaporator) is freezing up and then thawing when the system shuts off and running all over the floor. have someone come out and check all the pressures and put some dye in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Also it is obvious why you would not charge much to take pics of Howard's guitar. Your camera is clearly broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a cell phone in a dark basement lit up with a flashlight. And I wouldn't charge Howard anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHRATA Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Do you have cat's and dog's ? your A-coil could be plugged up with hair .. or the condensate drain pan could be plugged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 And I would only charge Howard a hand job. Fixt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Automotive Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 In the picture the PVC on the floor where is that going? Is it the drain? (Looks big for the drain) Need to open the unit up and check the pan, and the inlet for the drain pipe before you call someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
