Air Handler Loop Piping

This was a project that was definitely on the critical path. The pipes have to go in the wall before sheetrock. I did most of it myself. It was the first time that I soldered a lot of 1 1/2" copper pipe. For that size pipe I needed some special tools. I bought a bigger tip for my Turbo-torch and a special Scotch brite pad for the grinder for cleaning pipe ends. To cut the pipe I used an abrasive blade on my chop saw.

I started from the basement. 

Then up through the closet, with a branch for the living room air handler.

.

Through the 2nd floor wall, with a branch into the old attic for the family room air handler.

.

Then into the new 2nd floor attic, with two branches for the 2nd flr and kitchen air handlers.

..

Across and down into the master attic with two taps for the master and basement air handlers.
