Love seeing the big stuff...its just so different from the smaller units....even if the concepts are the same.
This commercial stuff is really cool. I did residential HVAC for a couple years so it's nice to see what else is out there and see how it's similar and also different.
@HVACRSurvival

The basics of refrigeration are the same but the controls are very different.
I like the commercial videos because I like the diagnosis and descriptions of the various system types. I wish these systems self isolated the bad circuit upon refrigerant loss and used vibration insulators at clamps near compressors. So much needless refrigerant loss!

The discoloration on your rosebud tip is a sure sign that you are not flowing enough gas. Just like the back firing you were experiencing. A #15 tip is rated at minimum rated for flowing 10 scfh acetylene, an MC tank is rated 1.5 scfh flow. American Welding Society says tank capacity in cubic foot divided by 7 is safe flow rate. B tank is 40cf divided 7 is 5.7 cfh, still low for a #15 rosebud, but much better, often enough for intermittent use. The victor handle helps with the flow rate, probably less restriction inside, but B tanks and larger regulators are need to even approach the needed flow rate.

Number 15 is what I've got that you've seen, now I have had it in my bag and it was kind of green looking and I ran my wire brush wheel on it to make it look clean again. But I did have my regulator set at 10 and 12 I believe from what was on the instruction sheet from the manufacturer. I spent some time on the phone with the manufacturer when this first happened and did everything they mentioned but nothing worked, the length of the center connection is a little bit longer on uniweld versus Victor and I think the gas was mixing in the handle causing the problem. This is rated to go down to as little as a quarter inch up to two and seven eighths. Thanks for the info

Love that tip. The #15 is my "all in one". I run it on the Victor handle with settings of 7/11. Never had any issues. Love that tip tho. Nice work. That ball valve just before the separator is awesome. Wish more people did that. I always end up having to add one after I need it.

Nick, the over and under technique is something I learned from the audio engineer at college, and have taught it to others. Incidentally, it's the same technique that mountain climbers use for their own safety. My foreman at work asked me to do this to a 3" sandblasting hose for a food products silo. It worked well, and most importantly, the hose didn't twist.

@@HVACRSurvival Don't starve the tip. A good way to see if you're starving the tip, is get a good neutral flame going how you like it, then cut off all the oxygen. If you get a big smoky flame, and all those little nasty strings of soot flying thru the air (we've all done it) then it's not enough fuel for the tip. A good rule of thumb is turn up the fuel just enough to clear the soot and smoke from the flame, then add oxygen. That avoids popping and flashbacks etc.
