Set new air conditioner and run new line set. Silver solder flowing nitrogen with Victor Edge series regulator. While soldering with rags to protect the service valves it takes a lot of heat especially on a 7/8" line. Make sure the rags are rung out well and wrapped tight on the valve as far back from the joint you are working on or you will have the problem with the steam blowing out the torch. The heat needs to be just hot enough for the size of the line you are working on. With the flame too close to the joint with too much heat you will burn a hole in the pipe. The blue cone is the hottest part of the flame and will heat it up quick if that cone is right on the metal. Every situation calls for different torch movement if the flame or metal is too hot or too cold. Once the whole joint is heated up you will be able move around the joint and the solder will flow and you can pull it into the joint with the torch.. Or you can just skip the rags and end up with a leaky service valve and a unit that needs charging every year like so many. Pressure test with modified Victor Edge. We pulled the safety relief valve and added a tee with a high pressure port access for pressure testing. Before that it took forever to build up pressure for testing. Vacuum and charge system.

This should be a video on how to not braze copper pipe

Thanks for showing your process. Lot of good info. I started using the uniweld Captain hook torch tip about a year ago. I'm able to get to temperature, braze, and get off the copper much faster with it than with a single orifice tip.

Yes. I have one. I found it hard to use. Tried it on a compressor replacement and it's been in my truck ever since.

@@EdPelto I could do without the angled flames. There’s plenty of room to use one outside, rarely inside.

The torch is blowing out because you have the oxygen pressure set too high. Your not using a cutting torch dude. Practice practice practice. Working way to close to copper.

the company i work for we take 2" pvc and flair one end with a crescent giving us a sleeve to prevent the lines from rubbing on the harder materials like stucco

you need a minimum of 36in from gas regulator to source of ignition....your new ac

Not according to the manufacturers of literally every roof top package HVAC system. What about cook lines where the gas valve for the grills is next to the reach in cooler? Guess half the world is doing it wrong. The electrical inlet for the condenser here is probably 36" away any how. Also, new reach in equipment literally uses propane as the refrigerant. Granted it's a small quantity but riddle me that
