My AC install was the same, one guy was on vac, so just one guy, the owner did it. Towards the end, he got me to help him a bit, lol

Nice work

[@mydogpeaches1]

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

[@lance16O1]

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.

The problem with staybright 8, is you have to use Flux. Flux will contaminate the refrigerant.

[@erics9213]

Hey Steve, did the existing line set need to be flushed with a solvent or is just nitrogen enough?

hey steve do you go to taunton?

Hello family

[@johntilson2535]

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! 👍

[@stevenlavimoniere]

AND ITS STRONGER .. NO NITROGEN PURGE NEEDED. FOR ME ITS A NO BRAINER .. EITHER WAY WILL WORK JUST FINE .

Old compressor probably got flooded back from that clogged air filter (see previous video)

You wouldn't want to do brazen up in attic space like that, you make one mistake and the house gets toasted Brazen is more in commercial settings like refrigeration

he's soldering, way quicker and not as hot. gotta do it just right though otherwise it won't last. (that's what I've heard for 410a)

[@hvacslayer2929]

😂 a flame is a flame if it touches something flammable it lights. You could still lit up the house while soldering. Pro press/lock fittings is the only non heat work.

[@WeberMentzel]

@@hvacslayer2929 yeah 100. We only use propress, aside from brazing in filter dryers. Super quick

No, people been brazing on A/C lines for ever. It's fine in attics
