The hardest part about brazing is getting over overthinking it. Soon as you get past the fear of messing something up it’s smooth sailing at least that’s how it went for me 😂

@samuelg3586 3 месяца назад

That's the truth!

@baxter8881 15 дней назад

You are correct. As soon as that butter flows you know it 😜

@Koldatt Год назад

Passed my journeyman's exam this week, thanks for your help with that, and all the teaching you do here!

Great job! Keep it up and never stop learning!

@phiksit Год назад

Not a fan of that oxidizing flame, but I guess if your in a hurry. I've always found that it's much easier to repair leaks, do touch-ups and recap joints when your pipe and fittings aren't cooked to holy hell. As a shipyard pipefitter, appearance and cleanliness is important too.

@micahjones1049 3 дня назад

i like to get the pipe and the fitting glowing red hot then add the filler rod. quick and easy it lets you get all your work done with plenty of time for screwing off.

@Mr1337sheep Год назад

Everyone's a critic Roger. As long as the joint doesn't leak that's really all that matters at the end of the day

@lennykelly9952 3 дня назад

Roger in Europe that’s called cupotechnic.Brazing is with brass rods and a powder flux.We used the silver solder rods for that but your right it’s a lifetime job.

@bradmironik6137 Год назад

Those braze joints look good. Everyone has their own preference on what to use. I liked a #2 tip for braze and air/ace tip for soldering. I didn't have a need for a rosebud tip. Thanks for sharing.

@RogerWakefield Год назад

Right on, thanks for sharing Brad

@letslockit Год назад

What type of silver are you using? How do you feel about staybrite?

@Seven7Pain1 Год назад

i use a mini oxygen acetylene rig to braze and med gas,and fitting should be glowing while you push your unbent brazing rod into cup for full pen and yes you purge it ,its more of a weld than soldier and i clean fittings too that packing oil will mess up a joint in heartbeat

@rudedog062 Год назад

I only use the rose bud for 2in and up pipe sizes. The turbo torch takes too long. For brazing smaller pipe 1/2 to 1in I'll use a welding tip, MAP gas, or a Tutbo torch.

@Parmitu4 Год назад

Nice

@Wubins Год назад

@maddoxinc1642 3 месяца назад

Does brazing get into the joint? Can you cut it in half and see how far the filler goes in?

Turbo torche #1

@electroluxlad Год назад

Turbo torch is usually good up until about 2 inch pipe after that it gets very difficult and that’s where a rosebud would be easier

@electroluxlad Год назад

And don’t forget we’re hearing protection with these they are very loud

Rosebud on bigger pipe usually anything 2” and above

@Hybris51129 Год назад

What is the difference between brazing and soldering?

@ethanwasme4307 Год назад

The temperature needed to melt the rod. From what I can tell, brazing last longer and is better against vibrations... You can braze into existing lines without a fitting

@x5hami317 Год назад

Pressure it can withstand

@destinylags6863 Год назад

A solder joint is actually a stronger joint

@Liam-1066 Год назад

Heat resistance. Solder melts at a much lower temperature than brazing rod

@adamhorn8414 Год назад

@@destinylags6863 just curious how solder is stronger than brazing? I would never want to solder a joint inside a big ac unit it just wouldn't feel safe to me.

@pnp8849 8 месяцев назад

It no brainer for amateur like me to get turbotorch because even expert like you still struggling with rose torch. Also I do refrigeration repair in the restaurant and turning on/off oxytorch really piss off many staffers.

@zacklynch1249 4 месяца назад

I use a 14 tip on anything up to 2” but maybe it’s the camera but none of those joints

Roger you ever worked a job where it was so far away from home your accommodation and transport was paid?

@Yahusha-Saves. Год назад

You can't cool a joint fast. You have to wait for it to cool down on it own. Think about it as putting water on ice.... the ice has fractures in them when you do that, so will your solder or brazing.

In my opinion that is way too much flame on the oxy rosebud. Just a waste of gas and harder to control cherry red heat.

you failed right off rip and your union and med gas trained🙄 whats first thing they tell you dont do ? Do not bend your brazzing rod especially on med gas

@prenleen8563 Год назад

Roger aren't you the one who used almost a whole rod on a 3/4 joint.. wouldn't be calling you an expert, probably a hack at best

@RogerWakefield Год назад

My joints don’t have leaks 🤷🏻‍♂️

@prenleen8563 Год назад

Same here just so happens that I only use a small amount cause thats all a brazed joint needs

@universalglitch Год назад

Pretty low of you to call Roger a hack. Also I want proof of your amazing brazing skills on a RU-vid video. Show us how amazing you are! I highly doubt you even have a torch just a typical RU-vid bully.

@prenleen8563 Год назад

Relax pretty boy, been a pipe fitter and a welder for way to long, and before that a plumber. So typically I can definitely call out a hack when I see one. And ps at this point a torch is just an extension of my body as far as I'm concerned

@matthewwalter67 Год назад

Why are people still brazing? Why not just pex it

@RogerWakefield Год назад

Braze is better than pex 🤷🏻‍♂️

@270Remi Год назад

Depends on the type of building and fire code/plumbing code in your area, brazed soft copper can be buried for water in my area but pex can't have any fittings in it. At a couple hundred bucks per 4" fitting tee drilling and brazing gets economical really quickly too.

@jman0870 Год назад

Because all medical gas must be brazed? Wait until you hear about refrigeration 🤣
