Fantastic video, Ty. There’s nothing like seeing both good and bad cases to make one realize the importance of proper technique. Watching this video has motivated me to learn how to braze even though I’m retired and really don’t need such a skill. And cutting up the pieces to show the problems is incredibly helpful. Thanks yet again! - Jim
You, Craig and Brian are the master teachers of the trade. All of you do a great service to the HVAC field all over the world. You, Ty, however, are my favorite of the three of you. The way you relate to students of your craft is warm, helpful and earnest in the goal of inspiring all levels and abilities to want to learn. I admire you and love you!
Thank you very much for the complement and support. I'm just glad to know I can help some people. I'm so lucky to know Bryan Craig and so many other great people in this trade.
@@love2hvac Ty, is there some way I can send you 4 pix's of my first braze using your technique with a Turbo Torch Extreme with acetylene only. I need you to tell me what you think, good or bad. I cut the 3/4" pipe open. I did not use nitrogen since I'm just learning.
Oh my…I’ve never heard anyone make the reference of NOT putting the Brazing Rod in your Mouth! Thanks for that, Sir. Was it because someone mentioned the “silv - phos being sandwiched together?” This is indeed a fabulous video and instructional piece for everyone to watch. You’ve pointed out some interesting points for all of us to recall and repeat. I like the way you cut the joints apart and then critiqued each of them. Valuable to see this. Thank You. My only contention is the use of emery cloth - I don’t wish to introduce oil to the copper tubing & fittings and the I’ve heard that emery cloth/sand cloth contains oil. I prefer to use open mesh sand cloth for that reason. Thank You for a Tremendous & Repeatable Learning Opportunity for All Students of HVACR around the Globe, Mr. Branaman!
You said this video is not a "How to do" yet but just the way you explained the science behind a proper braze, makes me feel that I should start learning this skill. I normally don't do the brazing part in my work but now I think I could. This video is like an eye-opener to me! Thank you very much for this Ty. More power to you. Cheers.
My instructor used to say when you braze, the product sucks in and you can see how much it sucks just as you explain. Well done ✅ for your explanation. I'm learning many things by watching your videos 📸. Thanks once again HVAC school direct me to your channel and now I'm watching your videos more than HVAC school channel but both you're still my favorite channels. Thanks guys for clarification yo make on your videos.
Bryan Orr with hvac school is a really great guy with tons of sound solid information. Also check out Craig with AC service Tech llc ru-vid.com For commercial see Chris with HVACR Videos ru-vid.com
Yes very important. You use a regular nitrogen regulator and then a flow regulator after that. Here is the one I use uniweld.com/product/nitrovue%C2%AD-flow-indicator/
Hi Ty - I’d like to practice brazing at home but I don’t want to invest in an acetylene unit. Are there any small devices (e.g., MAP) that can be used for hvac brazing? - Thanks! - Jim
Air accetlyne (turbo torch) would be your cheapest It a B tank and a loud end. You have to get kno for hvac as the ones for plumbing do not get hot enough. The map gas ones also dont get hot enough. They do make a inductive one but wow super expensive and not practical. If you where closer I'd let you practice here.
