[QUOTE="rbentnail, post: 1394493, member: 13598"] This is when I think of past air conditioning work, maybe solder in a [URL="https://www.grainger.com/category/hvac-and-refrigeration-a-c-refrigeration-and-supplies-refrigeration-equipment-and-accessories/ecatalog/N-zb2/Ntt-air+conditioner+charging+valves?sst=subset&ts_optout=true"]1/4" access valve[/URL] to the coolant pipe just to vent the air at the highest point. Or, if you could find a large enough one, even the clamp-on style would do fine. Maybe just add a tee: temp sensor one way & a little vent petcock another way.
