Okay everyone so if you are a homeowner and doing your DIY mini-split
installation this is something you definitely want to get and it's the
nighlok blue gasket and thread sealant make sure it's the blue one and make
sure that you don't get the black when they do have a black one now but that's
just an older product make sure it's the blue one and just like you can read
there it's compatible with our refrigerants will not contaminate the
system so even if you get it on the inside there where the refrigerant flows
it will not contaminate it I'll read you straight from it dialog is unique gasket
and thread sealant that will not contaminate a/c or refrigeration systems
the fluid never hardens or dries and will always remain in an elastic state
it fills cracks and voids to prevent all leaks especially during temperature
spikes and system vibration night log is using OEM assembly and field service so
we're gonna go ahead and put the night log and I'm gonna try to do that while
I'm holding the camera so you want to go ahead and put it right here
and here and like like you saw there one I just read it it's very elastic and
then you also once you get get that in there you just want to go ahead and
start tightening it okay so it turns out what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna
apply the sealant and I'm also going to put it right on here and also right here
because that's the areas that are gonna meet right here and that you're also
gonna have some application there and as soon as you get it in there just start
tightening it I mean within reasonable time just because we just took these
covers off you don't want to like go to lunch and be in a dusty environment just
leave that like that so we're gonna go ahead and do that and show you what it
looks like okay so you can see that now the night log is on there and then also
on the smaller pipe and if you look on there it's it's in there as well and you
just want to make sure you have all your bases covered you don't have to put a
lot and then it is recommended that you put a drop
right there on that flange and just like I did over here as well I'm not trying
to touch it but you can oh there you go and then that drop once this comes over
it'll tighten it and get it all in there real good so you do that tighten it and
you're good to go so once you get that tightened you want to make sure later on
which will also do probably in another video check that your lines are not
leaking with a vacuum pump but you do want to make sure that you don't do your
DIY project without having this and as soon as you take these caps off shortly
after that you want to go ahead and jump right into this you don't want to wait
awhile and leave these things open and then you know go to lunch like I
mentioned before be in a dusty environment and then you're going to get
dust and all kinds of debris in there so as soon as you take those out apply our
nylon if you have a friend that's actually good or someone that can help
you but what you want to do is you want to apply pressure from this pipe towards
that pipe so that the flanges meet and you can see the nylon kind of
overflowing a little bit and then go ahead and start tightening by hand and
later go ahead and get your wrench and start doing it that way
so what I'm gonna do here is I'm gonna put the nylon at the tip there and this
is just like we did on the indoor unit this is gonna create a seal so your
refrigerant and just like I read before it doesn't matter if falls inside it's
not a problem it's designed to work that way and what
you want to do is once you have them on both ends just give it some pressure
down like that and while you're giving it pressure then you're gonna you want
to make sure that you're pressing down this way and then you're gonna hand
tighten here and then later you're gonna go ahead and use your your adjustable
wrench to tighten the rest of it but you might not need to tighten some more just
enough with your hands and then just come over with your adjustable wrench
and you should be good to go so then once you get once you get your
adjustable wrench you just give it a nice little tug there you don't have to
go too much but your nyle ugh is gonna help seal the deal
pretty much and then later we're going to go ahead and do this one as well
you
