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 😂😂😂

@pingpong9656 Жыл бұрын

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)

do they have these for soldering pipe? for plumbing

@You_are_Right_ 4 ай бұрын

I’m wondering what the pressure reading for that is? 500psi? That looks so much easier!

@wxfield Жыл бұрын

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.

Yesir! I’ve looked into it but they’re hard to find for this application and require a ton of voltage so it’s not very practical.

Has the idea been applied to Staybrite No. 8. Seems logical. It would require flux but still seems doable.

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"?

@diyhvacguy Жыл бұрын

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

@DanO181919 Жыл бұрын

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.

“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.
