Great vid didn’t know they made these. I know I’ll be sideways in a crawl space brazing after a swage and the solder stick will drip from the pipe I’ll be crawling away 😂😂😂
Looks pretty easy, but for ordinary plumbing fittings, I think I'll stick to soldering. My solder joints don't make the pipe look nearly as bad as the Oxy-Acetylene gas without Nitrogen. Plus I wipe my joints immediately after to make them look clean.
@@ethanwasme4307it depends. Some people just can’t braze, solder, let alone weld a bead well at all. Brazing unlike metals can be tricky, but I always loved steel to copper, or brass to copper.
When you heat one side of the joint - will the other size not oxidize before you get to that side of the joint causing a bad joint? (Assuming you put two rings in, one on each side of the joint at a time)
What do you mean by "with out a nitrogen flow"? I know what it is, im just asking for a friend. ;-) . And what would be the result if you did use a "nitrogen flow"?
You want to use a nitrogen flow to prevent soot build up in the lines. Not using a nitrogen flow will cause the soot to build up inside the lines even though you can’t see it, and it will cause issues with the system later down the road if not immediately
“Perfect for brazing joints, when you don’t exactly know how to braze..” I don’t think I’m being unreasonable when saying that it’s probably not a good idea to attempt brazing-at all-if you don’t know how to properly in the first place, let alone attempt to braze a circuit that is supposed to operate under pressures of hundreds of PSI. Brazing temps are far too high and dangerous for someone to just “play” with to attempt to save money on an a/c repair or something. Just my thoughts.
Sil-Fos 15 is the preferred alloy for general copper-copper brazing; the phosphorous in the Sil-Fos family serves as a fluxing agent on coper, so no flux is recommended.
