What happens here

The new copper pipe section (which includes a pre-bent elbow) is now inserted into the existing pipe ends, creating the new configuration. This modification moves the pipe out of the way of the vent hose connection. The plumber then wipes off any excess flux from the exterior of the joints, explaining that leftover flux can cause green discoloration over time.

Goal: Connect the new pipe section and clean off excess flux.

What they say

that's all just old flux but if you get that all wiped off of there you're not really going to get so much solder dripping so now we're just going to burn this up real quick and you'll be able to see it when the flame right here starts to turn a little green you're gonna be able to start letting some solder flow [Music] that took the whole way around a little bit of a booger down here that's all right okay let that cool down for a second
