Deliveries today, but it's been raining all day.. Not a good day for crawling under the Den..

The filter came today. (Ordered on Oct 6, 2011). Everyone took the holiday?
It looks un-used (caps on tight), and ready to clean any water and crud out of the R410A in the system.




These Copper-Aluminum lines aren't what I expected. I figured it was some new alloy..
But, it's copper on the ends, bonded to aluminum tubing.
This stuff was a lot easier to un-roll than the old solid copper line set.
I can't see under the insulation, but it looks like all the aluminum might be covered in heat shrink..

Comes with pressure testing data sheet. Burst is 1,880 PSI and working is 900 PSI.
Made by the Woer heat shrink folks in China.

Rolling out 15' on the floor makes it look pretty short.
When I made my plans, the indoor mounting location wasn't very far away from the outdoor unit.
After ordering the 15' line set, the curtains got in the way and now,
15 feet might be a tad short.. I may need a line-set stretcher!

It looks like the weekend is going to be rainless.. So maybe I can finish this install..
