Water leaking from AC in Dallas, Texas
My central air conditioner has problems with water leakage floor. After the inspection, I found both from the water together between plastic water Shah and threaded female copper pipes adapter. Plastic water pan inside AC unit inside a house. Threaded female copper part is to connect to deplete system from the outside. As the gap between the two above mentioned fewer parts, and to exit the drain pipes, condensation of water all leak through the gap on the floor, and not really move water to drain the system. I tested for external drain pipes is not clogged and the water will pass through the pipes only with pouring suddenly a lot of water inside the AC unit and the water level above, above the outlet from the drain pipes. I think when tightened male pipe adaptor to female copper parts, torque lose part with copper built on the water pan, and made the gap between the Shah of water and copper pipes. Now my question how to fix it yourself?
Are there any seal or glue for this purpose? I asked Home Depot staff and J and B weld was recommended. However, this product takes about 5-8 hours to cure or dry. I really do not have that long wait in the hot summer in Dallas, Texas. I read instructions of other products, such as Amazing GOOP Plumbing, AquaMend (underwater repair epoxy putty stick) and SeamerMater (professional class) for the gutter, but I am not sure that can realistically be done work. In addition, it is very difficult to get access to the damaged area. There is no possibility separately mentioned two parts. The only thing I hope I can use I put a finger print or glue together along with stop leaking.
Of course, the final way is to encourage AC specialist, who will replace pan of water, which probably will cost me several hundred dollars. I had a similar problem, except that my outer tube and was plastic. And Shah and the female was metal. In the process in an attempt to understand why we are not going to water down a pipe which I unscrewed plastic, metal, and I couldn’t screw back in. Neither were never the same, they never matched, as half plastic and metal half, but somehow it was screwed in any case, with little, if any glue. I’m pretty sure I used, and what I would recommend PC-70. It sticks to everything, including glass. This is a very strong, and another thing, I was able to put it on the fact that she wet and yet dried. In this case I have just moved to a room in the square. With 2 roommates I soon learned, were annoying, and I do not know if all they complained or not, the sink was dripping permanently, or can be started, and it was the small hole, getting bigger, in the drain pipe under the sink. There probably was a something, but I have not seen the valve to turn off the water to absorb. PC-70 is not as runny JB-welding, so it will be in place only after about 10 minutes after it was mixed, although follow instructions to see how long you will have to apply a joint.
I think that is less than 10 minutes, maybe, 5. When I applied it to the brain drain, it is stored and drooping separating from the drain, even more so than usual because it was wet and there was no “accession”. But I watched it, probably for half an hour and every time he sagged, I pushed him to where he was, and possibly held it is in most of the last 10 minutes. I lived there about 3 months, but I think it held all this time. I would even turn off air conditioners, and his dry as possible. BTW, in my case, which have no identifying leaks, as you seem this does not solve my problem.
Plastic pipes came inch, right angles to the point down 2 inches, at right angles to point to the wall 20 inches or so, horizontally and I checked, and then up to 4 floor feet, through cash almost 7 feet, 2 feet from the wall, and right angles for money. I blew through the pipes and seemed well. I flushed it with utility garden hose from the sink and the water poured out as quickly as it went in. But when I reattached it, as indicated above, the water in an aircraft another was on the floor. Finally, I cut and rearrange the thing so I went out inches from the AC and then down instead of 2 feet 2 inches. Everything else was the same, but after that he worked. I still can not understand the way.
