DIRECTIONS
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. Surfaces may be cleaned with abrasive sandcloth or a
steel wire brush. The joining surfaces must be clean before soldering. Apply a
small amount of approved ux to the pipe and tting surface. Proper uxing is
important because the ux promotes the ow of the ller metal. Insert the pipe
end into the tting. 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 ux residual with a
damp cloth.
