It's best to braise the line set ends with silver based solder. Use of mapp gas won't produce a high enough heat to melt solder with enough silver to prevent escape of refrigerant. Soft solders that melt with mapp gas are porous enough for melecules of refrigerant to escape over time. Also instead of using all those wide angle elbows a gentle curve in the line set give better flow and less chance of leakage.
Braise? You mean Braze correct? According to Harris Products Group, Stay Brite 8 lead-free solder can produce stronger components than brazed components. Brazing can weaken base metals through annealment from high heat, but Stay Brite 8's low temperature characteristics can help reduce base metal distortion and oxidation. Stay Brite 8 is often used as an alternative to brazing for residential HVAC tube connections. Also have you ever you ever seen the curves on an Evap coil? Thanks for watching..

@@Matts_CraftyI think they braised some flank steak and some funny herbs last night.
I am a contractor out here in Arizona and I condemned a 13 Seer American Standard on a Carrier air handler LOL and I went in with a 15 seer AC Pro heat pump 4 ton split when I got done The indoor temperature was 89°. the outdoor temperature at that time of day was approximately 110° I weighed in the charge then dropped it By the time I was done picking up everything and getting ready to leave was approximately 45 minutes it all had already dropped down to 85° plus to I like how the reversing valve does not energizing cooling it energizes and heating so that's a big plus For the price of that equipment you can't beat the efficiency and the value that it brings I will install AC Pro any day before I install a badman

Glad to see an HVAC guy hook up three wires! I work for various home warranty companies. The HVAC people they use will not touch any wiring; even thermostat wires! You know they know how to wire, at least, their fixtures! I'm called out many times bc they say it's an "electrical" issue, when it's a mechanical one.
