Bad linesets??

Posted by Noon-Air on March 11, 2009, 4:29 pm

I have gotten 3 bad line sets right outta the box(bag?) They are IUSA
Cambridge-Lee Industries(made in Mexico). They come in a plastic bag instead
of a box. The all had leaks in the liquid line. The first one I saw the
holes in it before I ever un-coiled it, the second one got installed and
wouldn't pull a 400 micron vacuum. One of the holes was so small I needed a
magnigying glass to see it. The 3rd one I put the vacuum pump to it before I
put it in the system, and it wouldn't pull down either. The copper seemed
real thin... and on further inspection, the LL wall thickness was only
.020in. Wasted a lot of time and money on garbage that the supply house
carried "because they were trying to save money".

Has anybody else had this problem??

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons because, to them,
you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

There are the occasions when the shirt and tie doesn't know
something is bad. First complaint on a new product. After
that, I think they are trained to keep saying "we havn't had
any problems with those". I'd respect them much more if they
would say "Yes, we've had a lot of trouble, and we're trying
to make good for you."

Hasn't been an issue -- but then, I don't do much installing
any more. I'm working off old stock. I'm sure to see some,
soon. Be even more fun with the new high pressure 410a.
