Repair Option 3: Prepare for Soldering an Angle Stop

so the third way and probably the best way is going to be to solder on a half inch male adapter and then thread on a female angle stop so the first thing you want to do is get rid of this plastic excussion it's going to melt okay we're dealing with some high heat so get that popped out of there we're going to be putting on this fibrous mat this i think is like zoltec pyron or something like that but this is a fire retardant mat okay and i'm going to show you here in a second once you put this heat shield on nothing's really going to get behind it i mean you can do some good burning on this and it'll be okay burning pretty good there and then look come back here you barely even see any kind of a yellow on that right i definitely burn that too long you wouldn't really do that in a normal circumstance this is just showing you guys what's up with it but really a little warm but not bad just totally helps out in this scenario you know i go with the jersey gloves open mesh cloth like this this is really good some emery cloth or a fitting brush right now we can take this off for a second fitting brush this so on these male adapters i always like to sand even though it's brand new and maybe out of a package some people won't sand those they'll say hey it comes pre-cleaned i don't trust it just sand it it only takes a couple more seconds right all right so then we'll grab some flux i really love no crow this stuff is great it's quality flux i've never had it fail on me i've had a couple of different brands fail on me before but this never has and so it's what i roll with it light coat both inside the fitting and around the pipe pop that on there and then to get rid of the access i usually just hold it on and just run my finger around it so i'm gonna get a little flux off of
