Solid Wire Solder for Plumbing
What is solid wire solder for plumbing?
Plumbing is the general concept of piping system either for portable water or for the transit of hot or cold air system. During installation of the pipes, there are various of fittings and depending on what they are, we decide on how to install. Some pipes, especially for the PVC pipes are installed by using glue to join the pipe with fittings, while for copper pipe joinery, generally plumbers will use solid wire solder to join. The solid wire solder for plumbing comes in a roll form, and wire solder diameter is comparatively bigger than the wire solder being used for electronic soldering, wire solder diameter at 1.6mm, 3mm, 3.2mm, and the it comes in solid wire solder without pre-fluxed core, thus it's mandatory to apply the external flux during soldering of the copper plumbing.
How to use Solid Wire Solder for Plumbing?
1. Use sand paper to abrade the surface of the joinery area of both copper pipe and the fitting.
2. Prepare the acid solder flux which is proper for soldering copper. Reason of using a acid solder flux, is because the surface of copper generally is tarnished due to copper is active metal, thus an acid solder is aggressive enough to clean the solder area. Brush the solder flux to both the copper pipe and the fitting at the joinery area.
3. Join the copper pipe with the fitting. Use gas torch gun to heat up the copper pipes and active the solder flux, then apply the solid wire solder for plumbing at the joinery. With the heat from the pipe and the torch gun, the wire solder will melt down and well spread to cover the joint.
4. Use wet cloth the cool down the hot joinery area and clean the surface.
