Questions & Answers

Could it be used on an appliance refrigerator to create sealed systems? Are there any people who use it for this purpose? Or is it limited to heating and air conditioning?

In fact, you can use it with appliances that run on refrigeration. It is possible to find information on the Harris web site that will explain how to use this, what metals you can solder and how to use it properly. - Matt

How much stronger is stick 15% compared to stay B?

This is the case, they say

The solder joint needs to be cleaned after it is soldered?

As a matter of etiquette, I wipe everything off. Leaving behind some flux could turn it green, but I'm not sure if it would.

How does this work with ?

You can check Harris's website to see if it does.

It is better to braze on HVAC systems
5/5

This product is superior to brazing, I can confirm that! With 700PSig, I was able to hold pressure on copper fittings. There are no leaks and no issues as brazing weakens copper, staybrite will not.

Brazing is another alternative
5/5

My AC linesets are now braze-free instead of having to be brazed. The difference is that the soft soldering step does not require the use of nitrogen. This was tested on a 410a system and held up to the higher pressures without a problem.

This is a stronger lead tin than the 40/60
5/5

I find this combination to be very appealing. I really like the way the solder flows Keep the flux from getting too hot, and heat it gently. I like using this with a Propane torch, just take your time and you will be fine. In general, I use Hard solder and MAPP Gas for most materials that can stand a "Glowing Red" heat. Nevertheless, this stuff works great at temperatures high enough to melt lead.

I used it on my AC and it worked like a charm
5/5

There will be no more I get it. In order to prevent contamination inside the lines, you are supposed to use an N2 purge before brazing. Fortunately, we no longer face this issue. Since the copper melts at a lower point, it provides a stronger connection without the need for an annealing process, so the copper lines do not become Make sure you watch and understand a few videos before attempting this. Make sure you have practiced on a few joints before working on the AC This is not the exact same thing as sweating with standard solder but pretty Everything worked very well, and now my heat pump is running well. Neither N2 nor a power source is Neither oxynaphthalene nor acetylene is present. It is just a matter of mapping gas.

This is a great product for mini-computers Leaks occurring in separate places
5/5

My stay-cation was made easier by the Stay-Cation I used a brite 8 to fix a leak on my mini-van I have a split system and my friends have a mini-split system There is also a split system. In addition, there was a mini-equipment set-up. There was a leak where you released the R410a refrigerant from the pre-charge Once you construct the system and vacuum it out, it screws you back out again). A seal is supposed to be built into the system so it can seal itself This ring is in the set - A small shoulder is held tight by screws. Our two systems leaked, and judging by what I have seen around the internet, this kind of leak happens quite often with this type of valve after some time. We took out the set screw (had to remove the retaining ring first) and then removed the o-ring. It is made from a set screw ring. After cleaning the set screw and fitting, fluxing the fittings, and screwing the set screw in place Replacing the screw should take no more than a minute. Each turn takes 5 seconds. In order to secure the set screw, we placed the Stay-tight in place The Brite 8 color wheel has been adjusted. Even though only 1 of the 2 set screws was leaking, we took a time to disassemble the system and solder both since it was not charged.
These two systems have been running smoothly for the last 2 months without any power loss. It is the perfect solution for a problem that is quite bothersome.

I really like what you did there! The cost was high, but it was well worth the investment
5/5

As if water were flowing. This was used for a new R410 air conditioner installation. Copper needs to be clean and you must use flux sparingly. A smaller quantity should be sold.

The R12 AC system has been patched
5/5

No sweat (pun intended) for a beginner when it comes to installing a TXV valve on an R12 AC unit.

I love it
5/5

It is the best of the best. I find it a lot easier to work as an HVAC guy when I have to replace dryers this way.
