Chiller replacement - 6

The testing of the new pipes has revealed leaks in several of the joints. Several of the 90-degree elbows had to be cut out due to pin-hole leaks.




There were failures in joints both inside and outside as can be seen by the extra unions in the lines after sections were cut out and replaced.




The conduit has been extended up the outside of the wall, into the stair well, and up into the penthouse.





Finally, the ends of the new pipes are seen close to where the tie-ins will be with the existing lines.
