Hey man, I'm a novice to this type of work. After watching this video I'm confident I'll do a good job. You explained why you shouldn't take the easy/lazy way, how to avoid pitfalls, how to prepare the area, Thank you so much!
Good video. One final step: recommend wiping off any excess CORROSIVE flux from the outside of the pipe/fittings, or you may have more leaks months or years down the line.
5 stars. Thanks for being accessible, precise, and principled. In addition to being helpful, this is just beautiful instruction, I gotta tell you. You go beyond training and into honest-to-God development.
Thank you so much Vance🙏 This was a very powerful comment. I am beyond appreciative for your feedback. It means a lot to me. I'm very happy you found this video helpful. I will continue to give my best💯 Thank you for watching & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧
I had 3/4thick boiler high temp insulation (used for rebuilding the boilers) and specifically radiator change over/valve repairs very useful in soldering in tight spaces. One tip beside fire extinguisher is also a bucket of water for extra backup including wet rags. I know size of fire extinguisher is for couple of seconds and also type of fire but always have extra protection.
Excellent video! So if I'm soldering in a ball shutoff valve on 1/2".pipe, I would apply the heat to the top and bottom of the shutoff valve right? The capillary action will draw the solder up or down into the fitting, right? The pipe extends up from the floor, vertical solder job for a tub. Thank you.
Thank you! You would apply the heat on 1 side of the ball valve you're actually soldering but the fitting itself where the pipe went inside and not the body of the valve. Then you do the same for the other side of the ball valve👍 Yes, the solder will be attracted to the heat and flow right into the fitting🙂 Appreciate the feedback🔧 Stay safe out there & stay tuned for new videos every week!
So I need to solder a pipe that is close to the floor. I know you are supposed to heat the pipe from the bottom up but if I can't get my torch under the pipe is it ok to heat from top down?
Why do you keep turning off your torch and moving to a different spot? You’re just wasting time and movement which equals loss in pipe integrity when working with copper. If heat it from the bottom and work the flame up and no need to swipe at it super fast even with 95/5. Calm down and slow down so you can do a good job. Also dumping a few copper shavings down a pipe isn’t the end of the world but its a sign of laziness and bad workmanship.
Exactly what I thought about when he was deburring the vertical standing copper pipe. Good to see people paying attention to the details, details matter.
Hey man, I mean this with all due respect and no sarcasm at all. Would you mind making instructional videos like this? Demonstrating the things you’ve mentioned?
Bad braze but good Info cause my job change something didn't never had that shinny sliver joint braze and I done this for 4 years and they trying to say nothing is different it also acts like it doesn't wanna flow cause touch heat looks like shit whst do I do step by step I braze compressors that go in big A/C units for hospital stuff like that
Copper shavings dropped into pipe that was in open end looking up position while deburring. That is not good for refrigeration components of the system.
How would you deburr a vertical pipe and catch the shaving? I thought you were supposed to take the air rater/screen/shower head off faucets and let the water run until the shavings came out. I'm not sure about other things like water heater or washer
@@joshscott8678 copper tubes are also used in refrigeration and air conditioning. Shavings inside the tubes could be very harmfully for refrigeration cycle. In this particular case in a video, there was no need to deburr tubes before welding.
that joint looks ugly as fuck!!! you make a nice clean copper start nice looks good after its a burnt carbon mess... sure its sealed but who says as long as I get paid gets laid? I mean seriously? try to make it look nice remove the over drip or sand the outside to make it look like copper not like carbon pukeed on it
Ugliest solder joints ! The top of that 90 barely had solder at 12 o clock! Also take a rag and wipe away the excess flux once the pipe is heated BEFORE adding solder when doing a vertical joint so you don’t have solder running down like you did on the backside!

Great video man….ima DYI a pinhole under my house tomorrow! Very tight space!
I forgot the inside pipe and its need for fluxing nothing was sticking and that is the key factor. Thank you so much.

@4:11 You just sent all that deburred material down that pipe. At the end, I think you overcooked the solder at the top. Doesn't look that good to me.

Thanks - this is exactly what I needed to see.
In copper brazing if I apply the flame in one side I need to place the rod in the opposite side( brazing with Harris )
could I put a steel plate or something in front of the wall as a guard?

Good advice👍👍👍 Thanks for watching! Stay safe out there & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧
Do you still put or apply flux to the inside of the angled pipe if it already has solder inside..pre soldered angled pipes..thanks
Pocket mirror wow great too
Is the flux and solder the same as we use for electric cable soldering ? Thanks.
no. electronics lead solder has flux inside the core and you can also add rosin flux. plumbing solder is different
Beautiful!!!!!!👍🏽
Can the input/output on transmission radiator be soldered?

Does it work for hot water? Or only cold water?
Nah mate, cant use copper with hot water as it melts the pipe, gonna need to get some nice lead pipes for that.
Why not heating the pipe first or both at the same time that’s what I do and I do a clean and nice joint
Thx for the video!

What is the correct way to do it. Deburrine a standing pipe

@@marilynnelson3559 I like a pencil reamer since it cuts a strip of copper instead of shavings
Very good video few important hints.
