Not a lot of peaple post HERE so they have to make the most
of the one's that do.

Anybody want a 9 Lobe 7 Flute 300 Ton Frick Screw for $10
Come's with 5 Tons of NH3 and a free EVAPORATOR COIL
( NEW ONE ) Very usefull for holding down the roof in a
cyclone ( 3 Ton Weight )

The Interpretation of all the Complex technical terms USED IS
THEY WANT YOU TO BUY A NEW ONE

Hi,
Rule of thumb, you always use matched set. Older coil may die
soon(spring a leak) or if you want to reuse it, it needs flushing with
special chemical which is very expensive. (R22 and Puron oil is
different) Most techs does not want to do this. Also Puron runs at
higher pressure. Proper thing to do is to replace line set, coil and use
transfer valve. For more expert advice go to forum at
www.hvacmechanic.com I am not a tech. Just alert consumer.

Using an older coil is for the Hacks, like Stormy.
You don't use a old R22 coil for a new R410 system, PERIOD!!!!!
