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 Quick Fitting's
