No talking, no squealing, no backstory, just showing how to do the job. I can’t think of a more perfect video. Thank you so much for making it.

Your commentary provides useful information, it is missed!!

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

I used to do medical gas pipeline work and the fact this kind of information exist is actually amazing, well presented.

[@Got2Learn]

Sweet, thanks 😊

[@d46512]

What is that? Like the oxygen inside hospitals?

[@justCarner]

I solder with my valves closed as well. People argue ventilation for leaving it open but that’s not a good reason. The best reason for closing it is to help keep the shape of the gasket where the ball valve closes. Great work, as always.

[@Got2Learn]

Good tip!

[@theyhateme8763]

@@Got2Learn valve should be slightly cracked open. if you over heat the gasket blows out

[@Inquisitor6321]

Ideally, solder ball valves in closed position. OR open when you need to vent the hot air from inside the pipe so it doesn't bubble out through your molten (fresh) solder joint. But DO NOT solder ball valves while they are partially open. That will ruin the valve. The only valves you can solder in the partially open position are: stop & waste valves; globe valves or gate valves. Happy sweating!

[@shawnbush41]

Great video! Glad to see you uploading still!

[@ClippyC]

The lesson I learned here - take your time.

[@Got2Learn]

Yes.

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

Nice, it was interesting to actually see the time involved.

[@z1522]

At 3:04, a gap appears at the top of the joint, suggesting poor flux or contamination, instead of the shiny continuous bead one desires. There might be enough solder inside to seal the joint, but I would worry that it could fail without the obvious continuous bead.

[@lg3187]

its a large gap, need to go back and fill it in after it cools a little

[@paulbauer5337]

Valve should be open during soldering as to not trap expanding air with a fixture or hosebib open.

Hey man i started using tinning flux, nokorode, and I'm used to using everflux and you have to thoroughly stir everflux before using. The tinning flux is so much thicker and pastier, do you need to stir it thoroughly as well?

[@Got2Learn]

I leave it in the heat when I can.

[@kele1264]

Thank you very much!!!

[@jifors]

How do you solder when you have a T fitting close to the valve. As in no pipe seen between one of the the T end and the Valve? Going to install a 3 valve bypass for my water softener. 1" pipe and valve.

[@Got2Learn]

Already have, here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goacoHt4nbKZfZI&ab_channel=Got2Learn

[@handydoc2531]

I am amazed at the neatness and precision. 1 question. I always thought that I was supposed to leave the valve open so as to not damage the seal. Am I mistaken? 😮😮

[@Got2Learn]

Thank you, it depends on the manufacturer, some manufacturers require the valve to stay open some require them to remain closed.

[@tristanquintus3200]

Hi and thank you for your many videos. They have been very helpful. I’m just beginning to learn some soldering skills and have a question for you. Regarding the soldering of the brass valve in this video. Will the heat from the torch potentially damage or compromise what appears to be a plastic seal within the valve?

[@Got2Learn]

Thanks, check this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXavq5Zvj9SjnrM

[@AGhostInTheMachine]

I thought that much pre-heat on the pipe and valve would've burned away the flux, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Is it because the Oatey in the green container is more heat resistant or something?

[@Got2Learn]

Correct!

[@AGhostInTheMachine]

@@Got2Learn I see, so would it be okay to just always use that type of flux for any joint instead of the other types? I'm always in a rush fearing flux burn, but you're way more patient. For an amateur like me, that would be a nice advantage being able to go at a more relaxed pace as shown.

[@paulmanhart4481]

You closed the valve? I heard it should be open. How do you know? Also, you heated the pipe instead of the fitting. Why? Thanks, Paul

[@Got2Learn]

That particular brand and model ask for the valve to be in the closed position when soldering, some ask to be half opened, some opened, it really depends the brand. As for why I heated the pipe, I explain that here: kzbin.infoUgkxm1YH54kJ0Fwcwe0Udkrlg6NjX3Fh6TBQ?si=M5Wq_QQ4AETtOKIf

Oatey 95/5 solder, is it good for refrigerant piping?

[@Got2Learn]

Negative. You'll be needing silfos rods to braze those lines.

[@cm20506]

How much pressure can soldering points withstand?

[@Got2Learn]

Don't go above 130lbs, anything over that needs to be brazed or threaded.
