We're doing another one of those ac to cellar conversions. I bought a unit of Ebay and was asking the chap about it.
1 Is it those quick fit connectors?
No standard flare type connectors
2 But you say it doesn't need a vac pump
No, as it's r410a it works at higher pressure and any air is compressed more and hence doesn't cause any harm
3 Don't I need to be certified to do this?
No you do not need to be F-gas registered as you are not working with the gas. The gas in in the unit and only released when you open the valves
4 What if I have a leak
You won't as the connections are very good.
5 I'll have it!
cool
