You have to install a T with a cleanout for ease in flushing condensate lines. Its Oxy-Acetylene, not an Oxy Settling torch. Also, I notice you have no flux in your torch kit. Copper line should be brazed, not soldered. You may also want to recommend a non-contact voltage detector and an IR thermometer.

I hope this helps. You will also need a couple of nut drivers that are with approx. 6″ shafts 1/4″ & 5/16″ are most common for what I have need for. I hope this helps.

It is code to not only glue PVC but to primer it also!!! I see your in Florida, so maybe you do not do high efficient furnaces that use PVC for flue gas, but you can kill people if you do not glue and prime PVC for flue gas!!!!

Its made by MasterCool. It swages anything above 3/8 copper really well. Its actually pretty amazing watching it in action. anything under 3/8 copper it tends to split if you're not careful.
