Description: Using a small flux brush, apply a thin, even layer of water-soluble plumbing flux to the cleaned outside surface of the pipe end. Also apply a thin, even layer of flux to the cleaned inside surface of the fitting. The flux serves two purposes: it chemically cleans away any remaining oxides when heated and helps draw the molten solder into the joint through capillary action.
