STAINLESS STEEL suction line brazing Guide.

[jinu117]

Okay... I am sick of these people getting hostile over brazing this, getting parts, etc. Maybe written guides is not enough...
Few things.
Good luck looking for stainless steel line with good pressure rating, etc in small qty. I only see 100ft or 500ft rolls. In fact even most builders in US didn't know 100ft qty can be obtained until late last year.
For those of you who were able to obtain it... here is the guide.
#1) Clean the copper throughly!
#2) Stainless steel must be tight fit with copper. You are asking for trouble otherwise. Those whose braze falls off... is because not enough heat is conducted to stainless steel. Only tight fit will let you braze this.
#3) Don't ever put flame on stainless steel. You will make it weaker prone to breaking as well as possibly melting through.
#4) Flux only where it is necessary on stainless steel part. For copper, do what you like. I do few inches up to ease cleaning up after I am done brazing.
#5) Clean off flux throughly. Lot of stainless steel will corrode with it or have chemical reaction and could make it brittle.

All said... here is video clip of it... excuse my slurred voices. the guide wasn't planned, I am sleepy...
