Good to see ya bud! Glad all is well. Miss the videos. Make some more and I’ll watch them. Be safe out there brother.

Bill! You are the guy that got me to start using stay brite when I can- great vid man!

Picked up a new pipe cutter with a big diameter cutting wheel. Maybe 1" round, it barely leaves a burr if you go slow. Nice work on this one

Bill happy to see you still at it. Wish you had some more vids. Miss those service vids you use to post. Those generator vids where good also.

Good to see you posting again!

Thanks Bill! I missed your videos

Nice to see you back hacker! 👍

I grew up watching you mean, from a pea little apprentice to a full lead. Damn time really do fly. Nice to still you're still around bud!

Thanks for coming back hack!

Good looking fit Bill. I always pour water on the valve a few times while I'm making the braze.

Wild Bill! Good to see you man! 👍 Miss your vids.

Nice job Hackster ... Good to have ya back

Good to see you! Was thinking about you the other day and wondering what you have been up to. Glad to see you are well and doing well!

Damn you're back

Bill its great to see hello from leak master plumbing aka ed mi bon jovi

Hello bill from edbonjovi aka leak master plumbing great to see. Ya

Im a brazing guy, but stay brite for a solder is pretty damn good and strong. I have nothing against soldering lines. As long as it holds....who cares how it is done.

I have missed you Hacker ! Hope all is well, Bill ..

Sporting the Fenix flashlight. 😎👍

Its a nice upgrade from the maglite, just wish it had a belt pouch like maglite. Open top, not the foldover

You should be the HVAC Anti-Hacker. You ain’t no hack.

How come you haven’t posted much lately Bill I used to enjoy watching them.

Would you do a video on Rheem heat pump, 2 ton, condenser fan doesn't turn off and how to fix it.

The hacker is back in town 🎉

Hes ALIVE!!!! HES ALIVE!!!!

Stay bright8 ftw

I have to use map gas or propane for solder my skills are lacking with the turbo torch

Why not just use silfos?

@thehvachacker

Why not just use staybrite 8? I have no leaks and have been using staybrite 8 for 15+ years. Its rated for 410a. Fittings can handle more pressure than silfos. Silfos works. Yet then need to purge, try not to overheat txv, or service valves. Thats my reasons. If you think silfos is better than use it. As long as the system is tight and holds below 500 microns. All that matters

I thought those lines need to brazed?

They most definitely need to be brazed and many jurisdictions will fail you. I don’t care what anyone says about Stay-brite 8. It is inferior to flowing nitrogen and braze with an oxy-acetylene and Sil-fos 15. My guys are not allowed to do this and we replace and fix too many systems when guys half-ass it with solder and not real brazing.

@Balticblue93 this is not true. Before posting a comment saying most definitely, you should make sure it’s factual statement. You might of had bad experiences with staybrite 8. Techs not knowing how to properly solder, ect. I have zero leaks on my linesets. Wish I could say the same for evap coils

how in hell do you put up with that squeal I use a cutting torch head

Is their a reason your using flux and solder? I understand it uses much less heat but the fittings you are joining are easily accessible, an oxy torch with a nitro purge and heat trap on your filter dryer and service valves would be much better. Why add any contaminants to the system if you don’t have to?

Stronger and no nitrogen needed

​@rj.parker definitely not stronger. That's just what he choose to use. Brazing when done correctly the joint is actually stronger than the copper pipe itself.
