I wouldn't be happy either... do you not pressure test or own a micron
gauge?
Or it is that you just don't understand *how* to do things properly?

leak beeper???
Bullshit. You dont even own one let alone know how to use one.
Furthermore, its called brazing, not sweating.
You "sweat" water line.
You braze refrigeration lines.
If you are sweating your refrigeration lines, and I know you are, then
you are the hack we all know you are.

Not when Stormy does it. Then it's sweating.

No, he 'sweats' them both :-)
