She had ac :(

Well I put some time in retrofitting the old girl. We had AC till it got 30' from the garage... And boom went the high pressure hose... Never had gauges on it today, but it's a lot hotter out then when it got charged, so hopefully it's just a dud hose.

Back to the drawing board,

Re: She had ac :(

Is this not a high pressure blow off? And what psi do they blow at?



Also the line was not kinked before, that's how much stuff bent when it blew, the line coming off the compressor was nice and tidy, and now faces forward... Lol

There is a high pressure blow off, pretty sure that's it, but that isn''t going to keep a bad hose from blowing. It's an overpressure blowoff.

Ya hoping it was just a bad hose, and not another issue, I put a new orifice tube, and dryer after flushing system, and everything seemed to check out. I will be adding a low pressure cut out also.
