1. Field of the Invention
The apparatus of the present invention relates to air conditioner maintenance.
2. General Background of the Invention
Air conditioner condensate piping periodically have tendency to malfunction due to water flow restriction caused mostly by dirt sediment and algae buildup. The preventative maintenance is to keep air filters clean and if accumulation are present, add household Clorox or equivalent to piping. The remedy or procedure, to eliminate the restriction would be to pressure the piping and blow out the matter causing the flow restriction.
To gain access to the internal area of the piping system for repair, it is usually necessary to cut the piping, insert an air hose connected to a pressure content. Then, after clearing the restriction, the piping must be repaired. This procedure takes time, labor and is undesirable.
To incorporate chemical as a preventive means, an access to the inner area of the piping must also be achieved. This usually consists of cutting the existing piping system or installing at original installation a tee fitting with a short nipple riser and a cover (cap). This procedure will then allow chemical maintenance, but will not allow a means to blow down in event of a restrictive inner buildup.
