Say "Goodbye" to the Past
Soldering, or "Sweating," a Joint
Soldering-using a torch to join two metals together--is a technique for joining
pipes. Soldering pipe fittings can be timely, unsafe, and labor intensive.
Below are the steps it takes to connect a fitting to a copper pipe:
Materials:
Copper pipes and fitting
Emery cloth or pipe-cleaning brush
Flux
Silver solder
Soldering torch and striker
Tubing cutter
Safety glasses
Steps:
| 1. |
Begin by preparing the pipe to be soldered. The copper surface
must be clean in order to form a good joint. Clean the end of the pipe
on the outside with emery cloth or a specially made wire brush. Do the
same with the inside of the fitting. |
| 2. |
Apply flux--a paste formulated to remove oxides and draw molten solder
into the joint--to the surfaces to be joined. Use a brush to coat the inside
of the fitting and the outside of the pipe. |
| 3. |
Push the two pipes to be joined firmly into place so that they "bottom
out"--i.e., meet flush inside the fitting. |
4.
|
To avoid over-soldering, bend the tip of the solder to the size of the
pipe. |
5.
|
With the pipes and fitting in place, ignite the torch with the striker.
(Some torches are equipped with auto-igniters, so a striker may not be
necessary.) |
6.
|
Wearing safety glasses and keeping the torch well away from your face,
use the tip of the blue flame to heat the pipe ends and fitting. |
7.
|
After heating for a few moments, test whether the copper surface is hot
enough by touching it with the end of the solder. If it melts, touch the
solder to the joint seam, and watch for it to run around the joint. |
8.
|
Turn off the torch and wipe any drips of excess solder from the joint
with a rag. |
As you can see traditional methods of connecting pipe are time consuming and
require proper techniques in order to safeley connect a pipe. See Titan Supply's
new way of quickly and safely connecting pipe with no solder and no sweating!
Say "Hello" to the Present!
The COPRO™ push-fit requires minimal knowledge of pipe fitting to complete
a leak-free repair or new installation. In fact, users should have the ability
to use a hand pipe cutter, clean the pipe end, then slide to connect. It's
that simple! See how easy it is to connect your pipe.
