DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Cut the pipe to the exact length required using a tube
cutter. Be sure the pipe is cut square. Remove all burrs
on the inside and outside of the pipe surface with a
reamer tool. Remove all oil, grease and oxide corrosion
from the surface of the piping to be joined using Oatey
Abrasive Sandcloth, Utility Brushes or Nylon Grit Pads.
The joining surfaces must be clean before soldering.
Apply a small amount of approved flux to the pipe and
fitting surface. Proper fluxing is important because the
flux promotes the flow of the filler metal. Insert the pipe
end into the fitting. Heat the joint area, using caution
not to overheat the joint. Feed the solder wire into the
joint. When the solder wire has drawn around the entire
joint, remove the heat. When soldering process is
complete, allow the joint to cool undisturbed. When
joint is cool, remove any flux residual with a damp cloth.
