Hi Matt. For this copper pipe brazing, using induction brazing will be less polite, less fail, less over burn , fast precise. I have many videos for copper pipe brazing in my channel. But, have to admit, if for personal use, flame brazing is money saving than induction 😂
when i braze in a new compressor, scroll copeland, i need to have nitrogen, its it correct that i put nitro on low side and blow out on the high side? Becuse the compressor have a rewerse seal on high side in compressor and can damage the seal?. correct? so its ok to flow nitrogen in to the compressor while braze?
Please for the love of service flow nitrogen on refrigerant lines, boys! Great video! I call that newbie maneuver you showed “painting the solder” lol. I see it once every training class covering soldering. Also, typically the first thing I do when I pull out a stick is bend a 90 into one or both sides for easier maneuvering around the joint, especially when there are more times than not where I can’t access 360* around the line as you stated.
Good video Matt. I thought your video was very informative and easy to understand. RUclips can definitely be a tough slog. I learned quite a bit about video editing when Covid forced us to teach virtually. I’ve got a channel that’s been mildly successful so if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
Copper fittings are amongst the cheapest fittings available, especially as compared to press fittings and fade or rotolock fittings… and FFS , as an Australian plumber who’s had the benefit of a reasonable English education, it’s not swaging pronounced “swedge-ing” it’s “swayg-ing” …like swayze..
That's the way I was taught 40 years ago and it's served me well for 4 decades. Tell me, if you don't use flux to braze, why do they make and sell brazing flux?
Awesome brother!
Awesome demonstration
Thank you! Cheers!

Looks great.
Is it better to apply silver stick to bottom or top first?
I usually work up because heat rises.
Follow the heat

As long as the nitrogen will flow without building pressure on the low side. I try to follow the normal refrigerant cycle for nitrogen flow.

A very helpful tip is to pour Ammonia onto the pipe before brazing.

Use some flux and a little more heat. Your joints will look better.
You don't use flux to braze

Wow can we say overheat.
