One last picture for now. Since this is my first refrigeration project that I'm actually cutting and brazing my own system, I had to come up with some tools and equipment. I bought a small Nitrogen bottle at the local welding supply and connected the Argon flow-regulator from my TIG welder to the bottle. I used a fitting from an old Argon hose and brazed a 1/4" flare fitting onto a brass hose-nipple. That allows me to adapt the flow-regulator to my HVAC gauge set. All of my brazing is happening under positive Nitrogen flow. This sure works well for keeping the interior of the lines shiny clean. Here's a close-up of the 3/4" to 7/8" bullhead tee on my vapor line. I'm very pleased with the result from my DIY Nitrogen kit.
