    terrific video. thanks i learned a lot. refreshed my memory. 30 years ago i went to a/c class and the welding you showed they called it "cappilary action" where you get the solder to flow up inside where the tubes connect. it defies gravity and can flow uphill.

      What do you set your regulators to. I have had mixed results...but I think it's just a matter of making the process repeateable. I have the capn hook and I have been using 6/16 PSI ace/oxy and it's worked. Normally heat for 30 seconds and start "walking " the rod around....I wish I could just put the bead at the top and have the material just wrap around

    Neutral flame on a #1 tip has been real good to me. Acetylene regulator set at 5 psig & oxygen regulator set at 5 psig. I can braze up to ¾ copper tubing very easily with the #1 tip. I am considering putting the micro 6000 rosebud made by Uniweld in my kit for ⅞ copper tubing. I struggle to get a uniform braze on ⅞ tubing with the #1 tip, but i can get the job done

    Reason I ask is that I already have a bottle of argon for tig welding and thought if you’re just trying to keep the oxygen out when out of the pipe when brazing, then it seems like argon might work.

      No.
      Purging does not remove oxidation inside the pipe. It displaces the oxygen, preventing it from forming. If nitrogen is not used while brazing, the oxidation will be created and it will never be completely cleaned out of the line.

      It’s a waste of rod! The joint is sealed on the inside, that’s why it’s important to pull that solder into the joint! Solder will follow the heat, so with your torch you can pull that solder inside the joint by concentrating the heat at the inside bottom of the joint!

    Hi Mr HVAC in SC....I've got a question for you...when you're brazing and the joint/pipe
    to be brazed becomes cherry red...and the solder rod is starting to melt on to the copper
    pipe...how far back or what angle do you keep the flame whilst applying the melting
    rod? I want to know if the turbo torch/rig flame should be slightly above the rod when
    brazing?
    Cheers from London UK!

    • @ASAPJermz
      @ASAPJermz 4 года назад

      If you're brazing properly, you should hold the flame close to the pipe until it turns red, (angle, types of flames ect are personal preference) then use your rod, essentially, push the brazing rod into the coupling, 90°, fitting ect until you have about an inch of melt which will look black and gold, maybe even grey. You then move your torch towards your pipe and "cap" at the edge where both metals are now adjoined and fully sealed. This will help the capillary action do it's job. It should be clean and smooth like the video shows. No big lumps or areas less filled than other's.

    There were 3 issues that I encountered after getting the Compressor and Filter/Dryer Welded In:
    1.) The Compressor would not Run. Turns out, the Male Pins on the Compressor itself are 180 degrees from the Old to the New. Fix...Rotate the Female Plug so that the two Power Pins engage leaving one unused Male Pin floating in mid air. Hoakey...yeah but it works. I'll call Sears Parts Direct & see if they have a proper Harness.
    2.) One of my Welds at the Compressor/Condenser Joint let go after 24 hours. Fix...Reweld Joint and this time use a Mirror to Inspect the backside of the Weld.
    3.) System would not come up out of Vacuum all the way with R134A Refrigerant installed thus unit would not get Cold. Fix...Cut Capillary Tube at Filter/Dryer and Inspect. Found Silver Solder Wicked up to end of Capillary Tube and Welded off Opening. Unweld joint and Reweld with Capillary Tube further into Filter/Dryer...not too far though.
    Pulled a Vacuum yesterday and let it set overnight...no Leaks. Charge the System with Refrigerant.

    • @HVACinSC
      @HVACinSC  4 года назад +1

      No flux is required for brazing. The pop sound on an oxy/acetylene torch is what happens when you turn the acetylene off first which is correct. Turning off the oxygen first will cause soot to build up on the torch and can cause issues down the road.

      Nitrogen to keep it clean when brazing. Sandpaper to clean it before brazing. 👍

    Never get it cherry red best way is to tap it with your brazing rod to see if you get the green flame with your neutral flame then you're good to go

    • @HVACinSC
      @HVACinSC  5 лет назад +7

      That is not an accurate statement. Glowing red is not good for the copper but getting the pipe slightly red is absolutely neccessary for the best bond. Research proper brazing practices from any braze manufacturer and you will see the proper techniques to brazing.

    We hired a contractor to do a job to help us catch up on jobs. I stop by any every tool they had was brand new and junk brands and every elbow or coupling looked like corn flakes they had no idea what they where doing. the gov always hires the lowest bidder so sad. So yes we finished the job.

    How important is not nitrogen back filling, really. Everyone talks "best practice" but if I had to guess in the field 90% don't do it?

    • @HVACinSC
      @HVACinSC  3 года назад

      It's very important for system longevity. I say 90% of actual career professionals use best practices.

      That's 5/8" and is was clearly an extended demonstration.

      In this industry many things are unfortunately taught that are not accurate or correct. If those pressures give you good results then I say keep rolling with them. 🤙
