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.
Fundamentals
HVACTA: Plenum Progressing
When it comes to system swaps, proper air distribution is essential to air flow and cooling efficiency.
One of the many hands-on tasks at HVAC Technical Academy is constructing supply plenum.
HVACTA: It’s Brazing Time
The ability to braze effectively and safely is a requirement within the HVAC industry. Service technicians will be torching it up on a daily basis… recognizing the importance, HVAC Technical Academy insists all participants are above standard when it comes to brazing.

This is Kevin from HVAC Technical Academy, and I’ll be here today to talk to you guys about duck board and cutting duck work.
HVACTA: Plenum, for YOUR health
More than a simulation, it’s all about air flow. Every participant got their hands in the mastic, tape, flex, and design. Now the group will be introduced to even more HVAC opportunities.
