Yes, LA-CO Soldering Flux Paste is UK-WRAS approved and safe for use with potable water systems.
You can use this flux on copper, brass, galvanized iron, lead, zinc, tin, silver, nickel, mild steel, terne plate, and malleable iron.
Avoid using this flux on stainless steel or aluminum.
You can clean up the flux with a damp cloth.
Cleaning the pipe surfaces ensures that the solder will flow properly and create a strong, leak-proof joint.
Store the flux in a cool, dry place and ensure the container is tightly closed when not in use.
While unlikely to cause immediate harm, it's best to avoid getting flux inside the pipes. Ensure your application is limited to the pipe ends.
Ensure surfaces are clean and free of oxidation. Apply a thin layer of flux and heat the pipe to the correct temperature.
Make sure you've applied enough heat to the joint. Reheat and add more solder if necessary. Check for any gaps.
Use a slightly wetter cloth to wipe away the excess flux.
Compatibility: This flux is compatible with copper, brass, galvanized iron, lead, zinc, tin, silver, nickel, mild steel, terne plate, and malleable iron. It is *not* compatible with stainless steel or aluminum.
Care: Store the flux in a cool, dry place. Ensure the container is tightly closed when not in use to prevent it from drying out.
