I love how many of us plumbers watch plumbing videos, lmaooo always ready to fry someones ass loooolll nice job budd but there right, always pre weld whenever you can,

[@tnj5577]

Never heat the edge you’re going to apply the solder to, unless it’s to temporarily raise the temperature of the surrounding area before you begin the actual heating for the soldering. Always heat where the solder is going to get drawn into. You will most likely over heat the flux and not get a thorough soldered joint. Just trying to be helpful, not rude.

[@stevemurphy328]

Always sweat the adapter before you ever put the Flange on

[@johnm9581]

should of soldered the adapter on first let cool then thread flange on

[@jcgomezplomero3146]

I have the same opinion .

[@bassbeatzproductions8479]

Said the same

[@dishawnharris8571]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I third the emotion!!!!

[@imdeplorable2241]

Agree. That flange act as a heat sink, pulling heat from the adapter. It is a nice solder job, though.👍

[@EASTBAYNORCAL]

He’ll be alright

[@fixedit8689]

Now do it in an overhead position with multiple pipes and conduit in the way

[@geraldlabonte9539]

And some duct work

[@josephdonnelly4665]

Take the time to put anti heat material in the surrounding areas in which any heat will have contact with. Easiest thing to do.

[@bradhaenitsch1145]

Show off

[@ethanheifort2359]

😂

[@McGregorsPlumbingandHeating]

We get it u use propress

[@jacobgray7198]

Solder first. Then tape/dope depending on application. And solder won’t full draw into the fitting especially with a cast iron flange

[@Joseph-ib7hr]

Yeah what he said why didn't you started or male adapter on the pipe first and then tighten the flange up so you don't have to burn the pipe? Dope you understand that guy take notes from him. He knows Jacobs

[@sampantiliano]

I’m pretty sure people do things on these videos so people argue or feel the need to say “hey your supposed to solder then tighten an adapter”. YT doesn’t know what the comments say just that people are commenting and it shows the video more.

[@wemcal]

Great video

[@iliketakingshowers]

when you solder an adapter that's already screwed into something, you can't fully heat up the adapter to pull in the solder with a capillary action. You are effectively capping the joint

[@rickyspanish9625]

I agree, wack as fuck to not solder that first

[@jcgomezplomero3146]

I think it could have leaks, because he soldered after screwing in the adapters.

[@dattepo7534]

Electrolysis here we come

[@robtreibel766]

Copper into cast iron is fine.

[@trex9194]

​@@robtreibel766 you mean brass, not copper.

[@robtreibel766]

@T Rex no I've never have seen a pipe fitter use a brass nipple into a boiler flange, or CI bodied pump. A copper MA is fine in this application.

[@Main_Drain]

I was taught a brass adaptor on a boiler flange. Copper doesn't like iron. Random pinholes in a copper system and corrosion can be a nightmare.

[@danielmccusker3771]

Hack

[@gordonperry6977]

Nice soldering job. But solder before tape and pipe dope!

[@victoryfirst2878]

Nice work fella. YOU know how to solder copper.

[@xXperson2000Xx]

Clean bead but your tape and sealant are screwed now

[@alvarodiaz945]

Good job....

[@-slurmdaddy-8147]

Drill some long screws in 2x4, pre sweat your adapters or brass for dielectric unions. Ez peasy, no soldering next to threaded connection without even a wet rag necessary. And gottam you buried every thread lol

[@koreypeters4160]

Heat the back of the fitting so solder is sucked in, saw a ridge where solder piled. Solder then fit, you can potentially ruin the thread seal with heat.

[@tenkkutn]

Wow, I've only seen crimps for anything above 1 inch

[@assiamettahri5362]

It's brasing or soldring ?????

[@chrisviolette8991]

Use acetylene torch and heat the bottom of the socket to pull the solder in never solder at the too of the joint it won't fill the socket.

[@nowheelspin]

Is that a cast iron flange, that you screwed in a copper male adapter? They sell brass nipples or you can even use a brass threaded valve?

[@bobak5126]

How long do you need to heat 1-1/4 in pipe to solder it? Indoor temperature around 70f

[@robertcherry4971]

Good job brother most these guys bumpin there gums have probably never soldered a pipe much bigger than 3/4 in. That joint is not going to leak I can decipher that much by just observing …. Keep up the great work my friend!’

[@johnnythompson5361]

should have been sweated before applying Teflon tape. you did it backwards

[@Haylorgrey]

Can i ask what rod using.

[@chrisf.9350]

What is the flange for and what material? Cast iron?? (Electrolysis?)

[@robertepley4339]

I've had to do this before when I have to I quench the fitting immediately after I'm done.

[@juukes]

I just did a crash course this is not as easy as it looks

[@AltexIndustries]

Good work!

[@SocratesDionisius]

60/40 solder?

[@Jammestuff]

Cool

[@lquinn7212]

You can do copper to iron?

[@prakashgotame8875]

Which soldering rod use for this soldering

[@H2omboldt]

Had a guy tell me that blue stuff was “heat”rated

[@wsfwsf1497]

Let's see you braze weld it.

[@CITYTER1156]

COPPER CANNOT BE THREADED INTO STEEL

[@32vicent]

Este sistema es mas caro que el tradicional?

[@tedmcnair9709]

Put some water through it so we can see it leak……🤦🏼

[@vikascm9848]

What material rod is used to weld?

[@donalddobson7568]

How bout some old rusted or corroded and leaking solder joints that need repair

[@samdavies3349]

Looks untidy for a solder this easy

[@개소리꿈]

쉬운용접이네요 발르면되니

[@andrewgilbert4845]

Technically thats "copper" mip is brass ..so there isn't copper to iron but I wuld of jus did a die elec union or brass nipp

[@jamesowen21]

I would also consider brazing anything that size and larger

[@rupe53]

you never braze copper in plumbing for domestic water or heating. Brazing is the way to go for AC but the pipe is heavier.

[@jamesowen21]

@@rupe53 Depending on the customer desire. I brazed everything 1.5 up to 4 inch in a high school. Miles of copper. Under ground and over head.

[@rupe53]

@@jamesowen21 ... an industrial setting will be different. This video seems to show a typical residential heating circulator fitting.

[@daleon96]

You really only braise when you're doing dissimilar materials... Or forever reason need a stronger joint

[@christianbernal9688]

That’s why there is leaks all over 😂

[@gamingwithchipdip]

Nice

[@josephjohnson5818]

Better cool it down quick

[@kevinscheifele6833]

Nice

[@Joshuaellis420]

I just would have pipe doors that without the heat

[@josecampos6389]

But the question 🙋🏻‍♂️ is sir” ugh ugh’ Why is copper on a bearing housing sir?

[@rupe53]

it's a cast iron circulator flange for a heating system. I did several this afternoon.

[@unclesloppy5388]

Using a torch is too dangerous. Just put some plumbers putty in the joint. Or use blue primer and glue. Duh

[@jimmycreamer7905]

Five dollars says there’s no solder in the joint

[@TeslaBoy123]

Now u destroy the dope tape and leak start soon u walking outside house 😨

[@renaissance2004]

Güzel iş👏

[@RubenLopez-iu2pp]

Primero se soldar y después se enrosca

[@brianrichter6915]

Any flux used?

[@TheBuildingExpert]

Yes. Masters SP454 Soldering Paste Flux, 454g.

[@duanesiles1751]

Anyone bother to see the cast IRON and copper that's a definitely don't ever do

[@jeffreywolf5235]

I wish I had them skills. I am in a bunch of that one and a half inch copper drain pipe. Total nightmare there's no p-trap there's a special thing with what looks like a three-quarter inch anvil to a impact gun on the top of it for a pipe wrench to go on and I think that is to open up the pipe somehow I don't understand it at all lizards back from the 60s or earlier I've never seen anything like it. No p-trap just that is the closest thing to a p-trap that I could see and this is six or seven feet away in the sub-area. Where I first cut that pipe it was packed full of shit disgusting. His bill just went up $60 for that

[@dbbd9890]

Missed a spot!!!!

[@icu8128]

Lets see copper to steel, electrolysis anyone. I always used either a brass adapter or brass nipple w/female adapter.

[@rupe53]

It's not steel. It's a cast iron circulator flange. This is considered "dead water" because it is in the system for decades at a time.

[@bradhaenitsch1145]

Still different metals

[@rupe53]

@@bradhaenitsch1145 .... yes, but it's been proven for over 100 years that "dead" boiler water doesn't have this issue with steel, cast iron, brass, or copper. They have also been using copper hot water coils in boilers during the same time frame for domestic hot water without much trouble. That tells me they are reasonably compatible in certain situations.

[@JG-fx2ez]

This won’t leak

[@antonioc2929]

That's gonna leak , bad plumbing practice

[@santonovello]

è saldatura dolce a stagno non con la lega😢

[@djaa7]

Not only are you sweating right next to thread tape/compound, you're also putting copper with no brass in-between to prevent electrolysis? Were you mad and about to quit your job and setting up your old job for a lawsuit? Bahahaha

[@AA-xo9uw]

Use more flux.

[@angelicarojas1669]

Is that metal to copper? 😂

[@frankme9862]

This is completely wrong.

[@BuggerIt90]

Did you just do a cap and no penetration run? Wtf?…

[@CB-gw2is]

He wiped the flux after applying heat… key to a clean solder joint. Keeps the solder from running all over the pipe.

[@BuggerIt90]

@@CB-gw2is I can see that but that has nothing do with my comment, a cap will seal the join but a penetration run before capping will strengthen it…

[@manuelahumadamadariaga8460]

Mal. Ejecutado. Posible. Fuga...

[@leopelayo4953]

Mapp gas 😂😂😂😂

[@pipedgolf4634]

What’s wrong with mapp?

[@erickpizano8517]

😂😂😂

[@waymonblevins6939]

Where is Your Flux? The purpose for Flux is to Clean the Copper when using SOLIDER to have 100 percent bond. I would have used 15 percent Silver Silflos. Silfos are good for 500 psi.

[@johnschmidt2964]

Absolutely not, also we’re you tacking that joint. Lolol.
