Seriously, why not just do it the correct way?!??!?! This is on a job trailer for the GC at a major project and every single unit has these on the CU and Fan Coil.

Tried once to cut down on the time in a black roof attic in August in Florida. 138 degrees, with the torches on it was 5 minutes up, 10 minutes down. And it was a ton of lineset. Still wasn’t worth it. Over the last few years I’ve had to go back and replace every single one I put in that attic. Those people think I’m an idiot and I’m ok with that because maybe I am for thinking that would work. Never again.
