Wow very nice product I am going to star using thank again my brother

Great tips 'n shortcuts. Thanks!!

Great vid didn’t know they made these. I know I’ll be sideways in a crawl space brazing after a swage and the solder stick will drip from the pipe I’ll be crawling away 😂😂😂

Amazing!!

Great tips!

Interesting. I'm an old plumber/pipefitter. I haven't worked the trade since the early 1980s other than stuff around the home.

It's cool for professional, thanks

I love silver solder

Amazing!!

Maybe I’m just old fashioned. Or just getting outdated with new innovations. Either way, it’s cool.

Looks Good. I would have liked to see it cut apart after. Maybe next vid.

When you heat one side of the joint - will the other size not oxidize before you get to that side of the joint causing a bad joint? (Assuming you put two rings in, one on each side of the joint at a time)

I’m wondering what the pressure reading for that is? 500psi? That looks so much easier!

How would you nitrogen purge? What line connects to what?

do they have these for soldering pipe? for plumbing

Hi is it a mandate I have to use swaging tool to make any connection or I can use coupler. Also why is staybrite 8 very costly like 80 dollar

It's 8% silver. Look at the price of silver

Looks pretty easy, but for ordinary plumbing fittings, I think I'll stick to soldering. My solder joints don't make the pipe look nearly as bad as the Oxy-Acetylene gas without Nitrogen. Plus I wipe my joints immediately after to make them look clean.

An Old Timer taught me to wipe my soldier joints w/ a damp rag while it's still hot. I haven't had a leak in 20 years.

@@ethanwasme4307it depends. Some people just can’t braze, solder, let alone weld a bead well at all. Brazing unlike metals can be tricky, but I always loved steel to copper, or brass to copper.

Has the idea been applied to Staybrite No. 8. Seems logical. It would require flux but still seems doable.

The Sil-Fos 15 is already in the fitting ??? Is this the same as Silver soldier ???

Have you ever seen brazing done by an induction heater?

Жыл бұрын

Yesir! I’ve looked into it but they’re hard to find for this application and require a ton of voltage so it’s not very practical.

I tell you some of the armchair pros are going to bust your balls no matter what you do. I think its a slick trick especially in hard to get to areas.

What do you mean by "with out a nitrogen flow"? I know what it is, im just asking for a friend. ;-) . And what would be the result if you did use a "nitrogen flow"?

@diyhvacguy

Жыл бұрын

You want to use a nitrogen flow to prevent soot build up in the lines. Not using a nitrogen flow will cause the soot to build up inside the lines even though you can’t see it, and it will cause issues with the system later down the road if not immediately

These are not new,been around for years,they were a modeled after the old navy brass fittings that came with the solder rings inside the fitting

Where you get it?

You don’t use flux ?

@DanO181919

Жыл бұрын

Sil-Fos 15 is the preferred alloy for general copper-copper brazing; the phosphorous in the Sil-Fos family serves as a fluxing agent on coper, so no flux is recommended.

I would prefer that my tech practices and learns rather than find a way around it!

“Perfect for brazing joints, when you don’t exactly know how to braze..” I don’t think I’m being unreasonable when saying that it’s probably not a good idea to attempt brazing-at all-if you don’t know how to properly in the first place, let alone attempt to braze a circuit that is supposed to operate under pressures of hundreds of PSI. Brazing temps are far too high and dangerous for someone to just “play” with to attempt to save money on an a/c repair or something. Just my thoughts.
