What happens here

The video begins with a quick demonstration of a soldering process on a copper pipe joint. Solder is applied to one area of the heated joint, and it quickly flows around, completing the connection. This serves as an initial visual for effective solder capillary action.

Goal: Show effective solder flow on a copper joint.

Tools and materials

  • Copper Pipe Joint — The component being soldered
  • Solder — Joining the copper pipe parts
  • Torch — Heating the copper pipe joint

What they say

Hide

I'm going to lay my solder in one area. >> Yep. Done. >> Here are the best fluxes in the world. All the other fluxes that are out there are illegal. And what I mean by illegal is not by law, but they're petroleum-based, they're greasy, they don't wash out in cold water, and a lot of them aren't UPC approved. They're not the standard code of the ASTM B813 standard. This is a soap-based flux, it looks like a soap, it even smells like a soap, right? So, it washes out in cold water.
