Two things I learned form reading the comments section:
1. You did an excellent job, used all the correct materials and techniques, will last for many years, won't leak even during an earthquake
2. You did everything wrong, it will last about a week and by then you will have changed phone number and business name

-Thanks, YouTube, so helpful!

I see negative comments here. But as a guy in this business for over 25 years, your work looks great!!

Your brazing is so clean. I just started my HVAC schooling 3 months ago. We just started our brazing and I'm gonna emulate this! Awesome work.

The best that I have ever seen. Smooth with it. For those who dislike what I just saw, HATERS, exist to let the best know that they are good.

He protects the services valve
He purges the joint
He changes the tip
He heats the tube not filter metal
The distance of the flame was good
But the best thing of this job, was the speed of how this job was done, this guy did not spend too much time and it was a clean job
These were the characteristics of a professional job

100% agree with most of the comments. I bend, braze and cut copper all day making Evap coils. It takes time but reaming your cut ends and using an abrasive cloth to clean them makes a world of difference. Also always use nitro for keeping oxidation down! I've put out hundreds of evap coils and havent had a single leak or restriction problem! Knock on wood lol. I am confident in my process if you are too lazy to use a hand reamer you can always buy a Wood Countersink or even a Unibit ive found to work really well to debur with a drill.

A guy who is not afraid to get down and dirty to get the job done, is a good man!

Here come all the hvac experts on here that probably can’t even hammer in a nail if their life depended on it. Keep up the good work.

I started HVAC school in my town of El Paso TX, I truly appreciate every post you guys make, it helps me in the lab every time, thanks for posting

He should have done...
Then there's real life. He's done this job a million times and can do it in his sleep.He's been working straight for the last 100 days 12-14 hours a day. The homeowner has been waiting for him for two weeks without AC, he's tired, It's hotter than a pizza oven, he's got 3 more customers on the phone that need him "right away" and his wife wants him to stop by the store on his way home to grab a half gallon of milk.
He's almost out of gas and he's into the odorant which is why his flame is orange so he's busting his butt to get the job done ASAP before he runs out of gas.
The joints hold pressure and vacuum. He's good to go and the customer is happy.
There you go. Real life.

The young generation is not learning these skills or any trades for that matter. My two sons will be taught for sure. I'm third generation hvac service.
First generation commercial refrigeration services.
Thanks for the vid. Should be purging with nitrogen during the burn but very few do, glad you did :)
Keep up the good work

I’m on an install team with an Hvac master and his buddy is an excellent tech and they both are teaching me. I’m pretty much a gopher atm but I’d like to be certified some day. Doing my homework watching closely in the mean time 💯💯

[fjohngte]

Thanks for showing the whole brazing process. Most YouTubers don’t.

[marvinhenderson]

The best that I have ever seen. He's smooth with it . Clean too.

[joer.giallanza]

Good hands.good mechanic. We used spring type tubing benders. We called it silver soldering. Of course he de-burred the tubing. I cleaned my solder joints with steel wool while hot. Of course this was in trade school in the early 60s. Before I later became a Master Electrician.

[ufcpubg]

I'm learning hvac and I cant wait to get more hands on experience with this I done brazing pipes toghether, cut duct board and made plenum out of it and now we are going to work with sheet metal

[arthurokello]

Those braze joints are 🔥. Clean work, and no tape on the armaflex insulation. You might be one of those installers that service techs dont dread going behind. Great work

[rh-cvnr]

Thanks for posting, I've used the wet rag technique but never thought of running nitrogen as an extra cooling agent in the input as some of the comments say. Thanks for posting I know it takes work and I appreciate the effort

[vamosajugarpelota]

Brilliant thank you sir! Don't mind all these fing keyboard warriors who prolly don't know crap but want to critique you! This helped me a lot

[expeditoquirino]

I do not lose any video of you, I'm from Brazil and I consider you one of the best technician in the United States.
