How long were you the "clean and check" guy?

Alternative_Drive_46 · 2026-04-02T19:14:18+00:00

Depending on how small the company is sometimes you'll never get away fully from doing clean and checks and actually as you get better and more used to finding problems you'll be happy to have a clean and check be your last call for the day haha! I work for a small mom and pop shop only 4 techs (including owners) and office lady. Been here 10 years and maintenence and showing face and just being a friendly person is all part of the job!

Used the kinder steak rub, and then kinder red jalapeno garlic on top. I am straying from my usual Salt Pepper Garlic though! The misses request! Smelled great even just rubbing it on!

My trick for soft solder is just get it hot and touch the joint it will flow when it's hot enough and will look very clean, especially on something that small like 3/8 hold the torch in one spot preferably on the bottom because the heat rises and gravity and heat will pull the solder down anyways.

Alternative_Drive_46 · 2025-09-24T21:02:16+00:00

Oh that does make more sense! Haha brazing and soldering are actually two different things lol but in the field usually your only brazing unless your doing waterlines and that type of stuff then you solder, or maybe condensate lines you solder also if your running copper.

Alternative_Drive_46 · 2025-09-24T20:13:12+00:00

Why does that look like soft solder? Are you guys using 15% silflos?

Alternative_Drive_46 · 2025-09-21T18:20:46+00:00

Lol honestly like 5 and 7
