HACTA: Braze Masters in the Making

We waste no time to get into HVAC action. That’s the great thing about HVAC Technical Academy, we learn by doing. In addition to brazing, tomorrow we will be handling out tools and get 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.

HVACTA – “P” is for Optimal Plenum Performance

At our workshop facility, all work with duct board (building boxes), flex, mastic, tape, hangers, registers, and much more to secure an efficient plenum structure. After all, discoloration due to an improper build is NEVER a good thing.

The group practiced plenum elements yesterday and will perfect the skill today. Fortunately their new system swaps are just about complete so we will be connecting and perfecting air flow soon… keep checking us out, share, like, and make comments.
