What happens here

The ends of the existing copper pipes and the new copper coupling are thoroughly cleaned. A special fitting brush is used to clean the inside of the pipe ends, and an abrasive cloth (sanding cloth) is used to clean the outside of the pipe ends and the new coupling. The plumber emphasizes that pipes must be 'clean, clean, clean' for proper soldering.

Goal: Prepare copper surfaces for soldering by ensuring they are clean and free of oxidation.

Tools and materials

  • Abrasive Cloth / Sanding Cloth — Cleaning the outside of copper pipe ends and the coupling
  • Fitting Brush — Cleaning the inside of copper pipe ends
  • New Copper Coupling — Joining the new pipe section to the existing pipe
