Absolutely! The connections are a PITA to get made-up. On the replacement evap, the TXV was already installed so only the lower connex needed to be made..after 45 minutes of unsuccessful struggle, I took a break for supper, came back and screwed it together on the first try. Go figure...

No kidding. When I used to work on domestic refirgeration, I generally took compressor change-outs to the shop. I once cut-out a compressor that still had some pressure left on the high side. When the gas hit that torch flame it smelled like swimming pool chlorine and the next morning, there was a light haze of rust on all the exposed steel surfaces in the shop.
