firstly Thank you for your videos i learn a lot from it.I have also struggled with this.I use that mix combound called steenvas and that also works fine.It just needs drying time but i honestly joint a lot of them with steenvas and never had a come back on any of them.I tried welding them but personally its a nightmare.😀
Can you please make another video showing the welding procedure, I weld 3/16 on the drier capillary side (+- 30mm) and then Epoxy steel the capillary and pinch the end of the copper, I leave about 10mm of the capillary with no glue, as to not create a blockage. So I put the Epoxy on the capillary, with 10mm open on the tip, then slide in the tube and pinch the 3/16" at the very tip where the capillary enter. Leave the repair over night and charge the system the next day. It worked 100%, but will it last over time? Any thoughts? By the way, I like your videos, very educational. Please do make more.
Those fridges come from Lesotho. It a nightmare to weld those. I have a job where the coil is split on an upright single door commercial freezer and has two capillaries. These two capillaries is fitted into a 5/16 pipe and from the 5/16 it is reduced to 1/4 and this goes into a 1/4" by 1/4" pencil drier. Also the suction return is 5/16" and a pin hole developed on the pipe and it is not on the weld but on the pipe itself. It looks like rusted due to the armaflex being wet.
You should show how you apply the heat that what could make the sense of the video
I was watching the vid jst 4 how he’ll apply heat to the the capl.
thanks a lot man I wanted to actually see you weld, because that is the part beginners can get help from
Very tricky to solder aluminium, been successful though
We really wanted to see how you welded, you removed the best part of the video 😢😢😢

Epoxy was used in the 1950s by Kelvinator USA to join it exactly the same way you do and it worked. Nothing wrong with it but I prefer welding it on.
What is the mean of ur video if we can't se the dryer to silver cappilary weldind
I was alone when I videoed this I will remake another
Thanks for sharing. I thought I would have to buy a Lokring kit.
You must
Why you don't show how you did it
Show us how you did it not only explanation, poor vi
how.you.brezed.the.capillary.you.didn't.show.us.
Where can i find the rod im in Botswana
I want to see u doing a welding setion
What is the name /specs of this rod ?
Aluminium F/C rods. I get them from Probraze Metals
What type of torch did you use to weld ?
And he is not answering to questions
I loop the capillary around the dryer and use a little cheap clamp then no more tension
Very good idea
Don't believe I've seen aluminum
cap tube before on this side of the pond.
The only fridges Ive seen with aluminium capilary tubes are from Brazil and South Africa.
I’ve never seen it in the US. I’ve replaced an repaired aluminum evaporators before. They don’t need much heat at all.

In my case there is gas coming from the pipe and won't allowed me to weld it. Any solution please?
You need to open the system somewhere else. Preferably on the suction side.
@@JDNelRefrigeration , thanks, but I don't get it, what system?..it's just like yours the area where it's cut apart.
whats the brand of refrigerator?
It was a Defy
Where can l find those rods in free state?
I get mine from Probraze. They may courier them to you if you ask.
@@JDNelRefrigeration thanks
I think you should have shown us the actual wellding process,,,, but anywhere thanks sir....
I was alone when I recorded this, I used an Oxyacetylene with a very small flame.
How small was the flame that's the question
@@Braundesh Very small! The smallest that I could get my Oxyacetylene to burn at.
@@JDNelRefrigeration thank u
Where can i buy the Rod?
We get them from Probrase
No other option to fix ,if capillerynits broken?
@@boitumeloromeo3488 Either you have to weld it or replace it with a copper capillary.
The main part was missing,make another video,let someone else hold the camera
What's the point of the video is you dont demonstrate how to attach the capillary
Useless video, what tool you used to weld and how you apply heat is what is important.
You are not a good teacher. Why did you jump the brazing part?
Because I was videoing myself doing it.
@@JDNelRefrigeration
You skipped the part that every body was watching this vedio for!
Useless...😢😢😢
This dont make any sense
Good job 👍
