Gig Description

Hey everyone!

Im looking for help/recommendations for a HVAC technician who is down with an helping/finishing this last piece of a job I've DIYed.

I've installed a 230v 12000BTU mini split and for the life of me can't get the 1/4in copper pipe to set/torque without breaking the flare and I've tried making my own flares and torquing it 4x times now to no avail.

The inside unit is hooked up and wired, the outside unit is wired and only missing the 1/4 copper (and a correct flaring/torque)

Essentially looking for someone with more experience than my self to flare and torque the pipe and tell me im not THAT much of an idiot 🤣.

The company initially sent the wrong outdoor unit/heat pump, and I've got a free 1ton (12000BTU) Pre charged 115v heat pump and two copper line sets about 14ft 1/4in and 5/8in you can have if you can help show me the ways of finishing this leak free.


I will also pay you for your time.


Please let me know of anyone who could make it out today, im thinking it won't take more than one hour tops.


I'm in Dale city and live next to Rosa Parks middle school.
