  • @farstarfilm Propane does not get hot enough to braze.

  • ur not using propane for this job why not??

  • No nitrogen, typical goodman hack job, bet that txv is gonna love all the carbon crap in those pipes..... read manufacturers specs for silfossing the joints, everyone will say flow nitro while brazing.

  • would you not put some of that heat paste on the wall side i doubt you would like to buy your customer a new house if you burn it down

  • So is oxy acetylene better than just a. B tank?

  • Saw no filter drier or use of nitrogen.

  • replacement of a/c's is a ART FORM. EVERYBODY does it differnt. the steps that WE? all take, depends were you live, how you were taught? and what tools you have. then there is the County CODES to keep in mind. how you will service it threw out its life? ETC. all in all? if we all used EVERYBODYS SPECIAL tips? lol

    we'd be at the home for HOURS!!! so find your way! and be a PRO. brian in florida thanks.

  • You forgot to mention the wet rags around the entry points of the condensor.

  • I'm not a Tech, but I would have taken the opportunity

    move the Condencer closer to the Home, am I out of place

    with this comment?? Ted.

  • It would be wise to place a damp rag on that suction pipe to protect the house and possible paper or flammables in that wall as you braze. It would be a good idea to inform that the brazing material will follow the heat and to apply heat back into the fitting as a final procedure. Nitrogen will assure a dry and clean inside pipe.
