What happens here

Retrieve a section of copper pipe and a copper coupling (fitting). Using the provided 60-grit emery cloth, thoroughly clean and sand the exterior surface of the copper pipe and the interior surface of the copper coupling. This step is crucial to remove any oxides, dirt, or oils, creating a clean, rough surface that allows the adhesive to bond effectively.

Goal: Clean and abrade copper surfaces for optimal adhesion

Tools and materials

  • 60-grit emery cloth — Cleaning and abrading the copper surfaces
  • Copper coupling — The fitting used to join the pipes
  • Copper pipe — The pipe to be joined
