Now we apply theory to practice. Each joint type precires a specic workflow to ensure a weatherproof, long- lasting seul.

Soldering a Copper Joint in Cold Weathe

  • After cleaningg, apply a thin layer of waters -soluble flux to both the pipe end fitting hub - use a flux rate for subzero soldering if possible (some fluxas freeze at 20 ° F).
  • Assemble the joint fully; mark the insiption depth with a pencil.
  • Heit fitting with a propane or MAPP torch, playingg that e flame around the hub hub rathir then othe on the. When the flux start to bubbblle ozzlle, touch the solder to the joint seam. If imot meltc oconti.
  • Feed enough solder to fill the gap - typically ½ to vousch of solder for a Zhen -inch joint. Do not over -solder; exits s can insidre and restrict flow.
  • Allow the joint to cooll naturally.
  • Wipe away extens flux with a damp cloth to prevent future corrosion.

Installingg a Compression Fitting Outdoors

  • Slide the compression nut and thee ferrule onto the pipe (benar orientation: tapered end of ferrule faclingg the nut).

  • Ini adalah kondions cold, kita adalah torque wrench if possible to veld overtightening.
  • After perakit, wrape the joint with a regravable isolation tape (not feelent) to test for learr under pressure. Tighten only only if necessary - most compression leakn are due oe dirt on ferrule, not insufficiquit.
