Someone put a temporary tap on the service line, that is not ideal but if you need to recover refrigerant i guess thats a way to do it. Don't put too much heat into those joints.
@the_tech_guy_melАй бұрын
If have a temporary tap valve. It is best to put a service valve complete. Temporary valve can leak freon thruout time

everything looked great until you were brazing without a trace of nitrogen.Also pressurize 1 line with nitro and cover other fitting with finger.Let it build a little pressure then let off a couple of times if there was any flux left inside it would come out. Just my 2cents.
