Love this video. Just did my first solder joints today, made the mistake of heating the top of the fitting and the solder didn't run down. This vid put things into perspective. Going to give it another bash tomorrow. Also love how you cleaned it up at the end, came up nice 👍🏽

Nice explanation. One thing these demos always forget, is joining a pipe that's got or had water in it. I tried soldering a working pipe and it wouldn't solder. Spoke to a plumber and he told me it was because of the water, it will ALWAYS cool the copper down. He said place some bread into the pipe and push it up past the place where you're joining and it will stop the water coming through. Then once the pipe is soldered, the bread will come out with the pressure of the water.

Great video buddy but I've watched this several times and swear you only fed the solder into one side of the fitting, but not the other. Yet it's soldered at the end. Did you solder the other side of the fitting off camera?

Silly question but do you use the same size connector as the pipe, as in a 15mm connector to 15 mm pipe or do you need a slightly bigger connector so the pipe can fit into it ?
@TheDIYGuy12 жыл бұрын
No questions are silly. 15mm fittings are used for 15mm pipe.

@@shouwill I agree, we only saw one side of the connector have solder applied; I'm guessing that very soon after that the focus of the torch moved slightly to the bottom of the other end and solder was fed in there in the same way. Must have ended up on the cutting room floor during the edit. :-)

Your welcome. Capillary action and the correct amount of solder used will ensure there is enough solder in the joint.
