Troubleshooting

Solder not flowing into the joint

Joint leaking after cooling

Clean and re-flux the joint, then carefully reheat to allow the solder to re-flow, or de-solder and inspect for debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets high-level British manufacturing standards
  • Suitable for both potable water and gas applications
  • WRAS approved for peace of mind in drinking water systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, follow these steps:

  1. Preparation: Cut the 42mm copper pipe squarely and remove any burrs from the ends using a deburring tool.
  2. Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the exterior of the pipe and the interior of the coupling using an abrasive pad until the copper is bright.
  3. Fluxing: Apply a thin, even layer of flux to both the pipe end and the inside of the fitting to promote solder flow.
  4. Soldering: Heat the joint uniformly using a blowtorch. Apply solder to the joint gap until it is drawn in by capillary action around the entire circumference.
  5. Cooling: Allow the joint to cool naturally before applying pressure to the system.

Compatibility: This unit is specifically designed for 42mm copper pipe and should not be used with plastic or non-compatible metals.
