HVAC: Turbo Torch review/The best Torch for Pros and Apprentice.

[@Icemanpdx]

Thanks for the video bro. Taught me a few things. 1/4 all you need to open. Good Looking. I can take my small tank even in a crawl now.

[@ruhtrohraggy7497]

I’m buying this setup just for my properties because of this video 🤙🏼

[@hvacjohnnie]

You will not be disappointed.

[@slikevents]

Thanks I been debating and your video just helped me make the decision

[@hvacjohnnie]

Trust me, you will not be disappointed. If you have been using oxyacetylene for brazing, and never tried a turbo torch, I don’t think you will use oxyacetylene for brazing again.

[@optex01]

Use the B torch everyday, love it. I only ever turn the tank on a 1/4 to 1/2 turn, and crank the regulator. Very scary when the tank tips over, and you have to close it.

[@TaRgEt0ZeRo]

Just saying bro, normally, you have to open the valve only 180 degré with your service key, like half a turn, and it's enough to feed the regulator, that way, if somethings happens, it's super easy to shut off, same with oxy-acytilene

[@hvacjohnnie]

I was emphasizing that you don’t have to worry about adjusting the right amount of gas. 😄

[@TaRgEt0ZeRo]

@@hvacjohnnie it's for safety mesure, the regulator don't need the B-tanks to be wide open, just to be cracked. if somethings happen, like leaking torches that caught fire, super easy to shut down. but anyways.

[@hvacjohnnie]

Nice 👍 info. This in what these videos are for

[@jericosha2842]

@@TaRgEt0ZeRo good tip thanks for sharing

[@5822huron]

Yes. He opened it too much. Lol

[@Puffalupagus360]

A whole lot better than the cost of an oxy-acetylene rig and little to no chance of blowing through the line set. I've been wondering about these kits, I'm gonna have to get one now.

[@hvacjohnnie]

You are absolutely right! I love this torch, no adjustments and no more buying oxygen

[@ancientpersianempire]

best part is no more surprise holes!

[@Airon79]

This torch is for brazing while the oxy/acetylene is for brazing , cutting , and welding so more capabilities with the oxy/acetylene but if you don't need all that then this turbo torch would save you money in the long run . Actually it might hook up to a propane tank thus allowing for quicker exchange of bottles though it wouldn't braze as fast. Although this torch is faster setting up than the oxy/acetylene .

[@Airon79]

Are you selling your old oxy/acetylene torch ?

[@Puffalupagus360]

@@Airon79 my company makes me keep one on the van, but I still prefer the ease of an air acetylene rig.

[@joecox9958]

thanks! but I think X-6MC is for MC tank not B-tank right? Is smaller B-tank exist?

[@hvacjohnnie]

Not sure 🤔

[@sinrock85]

1/4 turn on your gas tank opens it, makes for fast shut offs in emergencies! Great video man! Ever tried flux with the TT setup?

[@hvacjohnnie]

Thanks. And no, I haven’t tried flux either it yet.

[@payopayan2022]

Yes, I noticed that.

[@indyoutdoors812]

BTW, I thoroughly enjoy your videos

[@jericosha2842]

Wow...great video. Good points and demonstration. Thanks man.

[@hvacjohnnie]

Thanks

[@samk.871]

Is this swage tool meant only for soft wall copper?

[@hvacjohnnie]

I have used it on both. As long as the inside diameter is the same.

[@KaiserXionTV]

First of all! I'm sure you've heard this before but you sound exactly like Tone-Loc. Second, thanks for the demonstration of that swage kit! No wonder they're so expensive. And third, thanks for the demo of that propane. It just proves the T.A. in the school that I'm going thru doesn't know much. He said that same thing that it doesn't get hot enough. Maybe the ear protection thing but no goggles needed and it burns cleaner! That's more than enough for me to get a B tank!

[@hvacjohnnie]

🤣Thanks. That swagger and the Turbo torch is the truth! It’s crazy, I run into so many people that didn’t never use neither one of them. I for one can’t work without them now.

[@charleslambertjr3842]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video, I just ordered this kit recently at the advice of an HVAC tech friend, but I’m curious about that smaller bottle, what is it called, what is the size, I ordered what he said to get which was the big 50 pound B tank- But I’ll be much rather have the smaller tank because we don’t use it that often and we have to car up into addicts onto the roof - a smaller tank would be great

[@hvacjohnnie]

Yeah, the small tank is the best!. And surprisingly it last a good while.

[@Comm0ut]

The smallest tank is the MC cylinder (named from the acetylene vehicle lighting era well over 100 years ago, the valve angle is because they were strapped to motorcycle frames!). Your local welding supply has or can get all the adapters for various cylinders. Since you already have a B tank I'd keep it then score a used larger oxygen cylinder and regulator to run larger torches. If you do more than HVAC having a healthy cutting/heating torch is great for cutting, heating and torch bending heavy stock. If you don't want the B tank your local welding supply will probably trade down to an MC cylinder and maybe credit you a few bucks.

[@indyoutdoors812]

Haven’t seen a video from ya in a while. Do you still use the acetylene (turbo) over the oxy-acetylene torch?

[@hvacjohnnie]

I have been busy, but I do have a few vids to upload. And Yes, I still use the Turbo Torch! I don’t think I will change back to Oxy again.

[@appliancedude63]

I'm sold. I gotta get one of those. Thanks for the video.

[@hvacjohnnie]

Your Welcome.

[@Icemanpdx]

Subscribed and just bought my turbo torch. Can’t wait to try it on MC tank. Good Lookin Bro. Great video

[@hvacjohnnie]

Thanks. You won’t be disappointed, it’s literally gas and go!

[@xraybravo7180]

So how was it

[@xraybravo7180]

Did you buy it turbo or goss is good ?

[@hvacjohnnie]

You honestly can’t go wrong by getting the turbo torch for brazing

[@xraybravo7180]

Gotcha i.thought you reviewed this goss that's why I kind of like the goss quick connects

[@ac4cars656]

Thanks for the demo., yes this tool looks like it does the trick!

[@hvacjohnnie]

It really does.

[@acidtoad8627]

Nice I’m gonna buy one I’ve been using oxy acetylene for years now

[@hvacjohnnie]

You will definitely enjoy using this, and save a few dollars in return

[@soloch69]

turbo torch for life get the job done faster, great video keep them coming

[@hvacjohnnie]

I Definitely have to drop some more vids

[@ARCSTREAMS]

is it possible to weld with an accy/air torch like you got if it is the right style tip?

[@hvacjohnnie]

Great question, I’m not sure of that. Maybe one of the commentators can answer that one for us.

[@ARCSTREAMS]

after doing a bit of searching the answer is no , i also knew from before you can not use propane and oxygen to weld either but now im wondering about mappro@@hvacjohnnie

[@Strictly4Defense]

Use the MC hose kit and buy the A11 tip separately. Problem solve. MC tanks lighter to carry around.

[@hvacjohnnie]

Nice advice

[@victorperez1368]

This ninja is amazing

[@hvacjohnnie]

Thanks!

[@briandeines5019]

your flaring tool is pretty cool. I have a normal victor torch with I'm guessing 80 cubic feet cylinders each. 3 feet tall oxygen is a little taller. you're right too heavy and too much trouble . However i have a tiny 14" tall acetylene tank . please tell me what i should buy.

[@hvacjohnnie]

If you have the Turbo Torch already, they have a adaptor for for can connect the small tank to a BTank. It’s a MCT B to MC adaptor.

[@briandeines5019]

@@hvacjohnnie i don't have a turbo torch . i have oxy / ace and it's bulky and heavy. it works great for work with steel but i would like something more portable for indoor plumbing. suggestions?

i remember like 27 years ago a plumber came by to fix my leaking sink pipe and he had a small acetylene tank like you got with a black plastic handle torch and hose similar to yours which mixed air with the gas this is old school stuff nothing new

Hew many price in india n rupees

[@Billpimentel82]

Question please, how much does one of these tanks go for and how many uses can I get out of tank

[@hvacjohnnie]

To be honest, I bought the tanks used off offer up. When you go to get them filled they swap they out. I think I paid $20 each for them from a guy. (Maybe $30 ) they last for a few jobs though, you can bang out a few split systems easily

[@ameursaoudi9591]

What kind of gas works

[@hvacjohnnie]

acetylene

[@hvacjohnnie]

You won’t be disappointed I swear. I was installing a system last night and the client was like “ That torch works great.” I asked her if she will like to try it, she said yes, and with a few instructions I taught her how to Braze. She was happy 😃

This is only useful when using Outdoors of course indoors is not going to be that great

[@rWirthlin1983]

They have smaller tips you can get and use so it's not so powerful. Able to use in tighter spaces.

[@hvacjohnnie]

Dead on.

[@mr.fixdaplate]

I braze with nitrogen leak free..

[@JoseVargas-bz3zd]

But the ts8000 burns hotter and cheaper

[@hvacjohnnie]

I never heard of the ts8000. The reason I like the turbo torch is because it has that exact temperature and gets there pretty quick

[@hvacjohnnie]

Okay, I see it, now I know what you are talking about. The Mapp gas set-up ( what I knew it by) I do have one of these, and it works, but I only use it as a back up, ( I ran out of gas and shop is closed. The biggest con is hard to get to in right spots

[@andrewalexander9492]

I'd be pretty surprised if the ts8000 (or any air-MAPP torch) burned hotter than an Air-acetylene torch. Acetylene burns hotter than MAPP (Mapp substitute, actually, MAPP gas is no longer manufactured, all you can get now is mapp substitute.)

[@hvacjohnnie]

I didn’t know MAPP gas wasn’t available any more

[@andrewalexander9492]

@@hvacjohnnie Yeah, MAPP gas hasn't been manufactured since 2008. The Mapp substitute is a similar gas, but it doesn't burn as hot as MAPP did, but it still burns hotter than propane.
