Yesterday's project. I wanted to make the rigids shorter but I only had 5' of ltfmc left to work with. It's not my favorite kind of installation but it's done.

What are you using the chiller for?

 

[Jlarson]

One stub looks a little higher. lol

It probably is. One of them cross threaded into the piece of junk LBs and I didn't feel like retapping it so I just hammered on the wrench until she stopped

 

[ponyboy]

What are you using the chiller for?

Cooling off a whole lot of water!

 

[Jlarson]

:laughing:

Yeah I was there the other day, I had the handle of a big pair of channies in the LB cranking on it, saying don't crack, just a little further over and over.

Oil separators

Your work looks good. Did you caulk around the penetrations?

 

[seabee41]

Looks good!

I shoved some scrap backer rod around the conduits and then spray foamed from top and bottom. I was a little worried about vibration from when the chiller was running but after I put the strut on the pad and strapped them they are as sturdy as sears.

Cooling off a whole lot of water!

Is it cooling your building or some piece of equipment?

Also, Ive only seen a handful of chillers and they used Glycol, not water, is that how yours is?

Nice job pony:thumbsup:

i'm curious as to those GRC's , we were told by AHJ they needed a 'sleeve' penetrating floors , which we did in sch80, , ran the GRC through, then firecaulked between 80 & GRC.

never did get an answer if it was some local thing or not.....:001_huh:

~CS~

No ahj here. Those conduits run for another 100' below in EMT. I did rigid stubs because it's easier to spin them into the LBs below rather than messing around with EMT and connectors. Everything we do here is basically a judgement call made by the installer on the fly. Not a ton of plant specs really but once you've been here a while you know what they like
