    I don’t get why people always wait to put a bend in the braze rod til they already have the torches lit. Like bro it’s not that hard to bend 😂 quality work though brother, I always try to keep your processes in mind when I work.

    If your recovery tank is used and has oil in the bottom of it, that will affect the vacuum. Especially if it's contaminated.

    So cool. I work on the mechanical part of refrigerated railcars for the railroad. I only do filters, starter, batteries water pumps and all that. I'm studying to get my 608 universal. All this is so confusing, but I'm wanting to get into residential HVAC for a side job and maybe opening up my own business one day like you. Do you have any advice for me?

    Surprised you braced it instead of using your famous RLS system - I wonder why is that (I’m not a hvac tech, but I’ve following your channel, I’m likely to go to hvac school soon) (yes, your channel is definitely telling me to go for it 😎). Thanks. Cheers.

  • @trevorleger4839
    @trevorleger4839 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    im pretty new to the trade and havent been told what you do if you recover refrigerant and dont put it back to the system. is that when you bring it to a reclaiming site and they make it new again??

    • @trahvac94
      @trahvac94 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Reclaim or burn it

  • @Marco-sy9sw
    @Marco-sy9sw 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hey awesome video, I see that you have not put back the refrigerant that you had recovered because its a blend, have you ever had a problem with this in the past? I tend to think that as it is mixed you should not lose one part more than the other..

    • @Josh-px6xb
      @Josh-px6xb 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If you’re recovering a small amount of refrigerant , with that kind of repair, might as well recharge with fresh refrigerant. Technically, he could’ve put the refrigerant back in as long as it was put in as a liquid.

  • @josemartinez-jt6tw
    @josemartinez-jt6tw 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Im 82 career of refrigeration, i never purged nitrogen and ive never had a problem at on service calls. I used to purge on new installs

    • @bnasty267
      @bnasty267 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Less of an issue with older R22 or simple orifice or TXV systems. Modern systems, especially with an electronic expansion valve, are risky if you don't purge. There are some good vids on YT that show the crusty junk that can get on the inside of the lines without purging. A chunk of that ending up in the EEV would break it.

      @robertdavenport9095 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You have very fortunate and you probably braze fast too. If you don’t purge though at some point your gonna oxidize and plug up your expansion valve

    @Quality HVACR i'm investing in some digital gauges. was wondering if you could either do a video, or straight up recomment a brand. after some homework, i settled on yellow jacket, testo and field piece. any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!

    • @mooresville2566
      @mooresville2566 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      i’m a huge fan of my field piece gauges. i got the SMAN 480 but i would recommend getting the 380 as i never use my vacuum port on my gauges.

    • @Haas839
      @Haas839 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      I personally use the testo 550s. I like that it has a smaller footprint than the rest. It’s very accurate and I haven’t had any problems from it

    • @dgapp76
      @dgapp76 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      SMANs are great and what I use (Testo and Yellow Jacket too) but... had issues with almost every single set. Manifold bleed thru, funky intermittent micron gauge (have to clean periodically but still acting up), wireless connection issues, one had weird intermittent pressure readings until you "tap" it. 1000 bucks with hoses and wireless temp probes, it had better perform. I always keep spare hoses, gauges (even analog), various low loss fittings, etc on the truck. Redundancy is the word. Not cool to be stuck with faulty equipment on a job and have to pull off. Good way to piss the boss off!
