We wasted no time to get into action. That’s the great thing about HVAC Technical Academy, we learn by doing. In addition to brazing, we began getting down and dirty by taking apart systems… yep, that adventure will soon become a reality.

For those not familiar, HVAC brazing is a high-heat metal-joining process for creating strong, leak-proof refrigerant lines, using filler metal (like silver alloys) melted by a torch, requiring specific equipment (torch, rods, nitrogen) and strict safety protocols (PPE, fire prevention) to join copper pipes for high-pressure systems.

Each group members were instructed to follow key steps such as preparing the joint, heating it correctly, applying the rod, flowing nitrogen to prevent oxidation, and pressure testing for leaks, ensuring a strong, reliable connection.

HVAC Technical Academy is about preparing you the right way in the most efficient manner. Think about it, in six weeks, you could be ready for an HVAC journey lasting a lifetime.

HVACTA: On the First Day of Brazing

It did not take long for each participant to feel comfortable with the process. All did a great job, and the workshop didn’t get bruised or burn marks.

Take a look at the photos showcasing each participant first braze job. Come to think of it, “on the first day of brazing” has a rather nice tune. Don’t you think?

If you enjoy daily challenges, working with your hands, and never a dull moment, the HVAC industry may be a good fit for you and HVAC Technical can help you get there quick, we are talking six weeks.
