Brazing and soldering are both excellent methods for joining copper pipes, and both are strong enough for refrigeration lines. Brazing is generally stronger and more resistant to fatigue than soldering, and is often used for refrigeration units and other applications that require high joint strength. However, soldering may be better in some situations, such as when brazing would be too hot for the job or when joints need to be easily dismantled so i have always been of the opinion that you should use what is appropriate to do the job to a high standard and you just don’t gain much whether you braise or solder so I myself personally choose to use solder as well unless the job calls for it but the one thing i won’t use is that pro press crap im not trusting anything to a crimp and a o ring I guess people have forgotten the big mess that polybutylene caused, and still is causing anyways excellent video Steve i do enjoy watching your videos you do excellent work

Had a refrigerant hammer problem on compressor shutdown on one of these units when it was in heat mode. The problem was the TXV in these Ruud units need to be vertical or as vertical as you can get it (45 degrees being acceptable). The problem is in the internal check valve inside these TXVs. If the lineset shakes on shutdown in heat mode it's the TXV, and it needs to be twisted until it's vertical or at least 45 degrees or more. This was on a Ruud heat pump unit.

You know Steve, the know-it-alls (or blow-bags, as you call them) would complain that you aren't 'brazing' your connections versus soldering them, as you do. And I would have been inclined to believe them except, after comparing your joints to theirs [brazed], I'd do it YOUR way. Why? Because you've done it that way for years with equal results and the best part? Soooo much quicker, neater and without overheating the joints or components as brazing tends to do! 👍
