YMBAWI the MRI technician refuses to put you in the tube because of all the metal imbedded in your skin.

Yes, I know almost all of you knew that. It was thrown in for the rest.

P.S. I am loving all the great info in this thread....

Old school vs. New school



These days, with the advent of R-410a (Puron), pressure tests are 500psig minimum. The only thing preventing higher pressure tests is the relatively unavailable regulators of higher pressure ranges.

Well done

Nice work. You paint very well.

I love mine...

I have two of these bad boys. Let me know if you'd like to try before you buy. I'm sure we can work something out.
