I placed the CMI title on this thread for a reason. It made you look did it not 17 posts and 200 lookers. I posted the same pics on another thread and had no comments no takers.

I felt this question had the vality of being answered by many CMI’s as I can understand someone that is new to the business overlooking a simple line reduction but in my opinion an expericensed inspector should have the training and education to not miss this type of item.

I am happy that you jotted down my thoughts in your notes, hope it helps you.
Hope Roy jotted it down also was not trying to embarrase him just razzing him. If I do not like someone on this board I just ignore them thats the beauty of this BB So understand this Roy Cooke I don’t ignore you:p and contraery to popular beleif and old dog can learn new tricks.

Hey agree or disagree I can take the heat .
Any one who can not take the heat should stay out of the kitchen and not post.

I am not a CMI and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn last night, but I do run into liquid lines that have been reduced in size from time to time. Actually, I ran into it the day before yesterday.

It is funny, the manufacturer stubs out the liquid line at 3/8" on the condenser, the stub on the air handler is 3/8", yet the installation contractor uses the old 1/4" liquid line.

I had one contractor tell the seller I didn’t know what I was talking about, that it was perfectly ok to reduce the size of the liquid line! :shock: I guess he didn’t want to tell the seller he had done a cheap install in the first place. I just said “tell him to put it in writing, I did”
