Troubleshooting
Joint leaks after installation.
Reheat the joint and add more solder, ensuring the solder flows completely around the circumference of the fitting. Check for any gaps and ensure the copper tube is fully inserted.
Difficulty in achieving a proper joint.
Ensure the copper tube and fitting are clean. Apply heat evenly and avoid overheating the fitting. Make sure the flame is not directly on the solder ring; it should heat the fitting, which will melt the solder.
Solder not flowing properly.
Make sure the fitting is heated adequately. Ensure that the solder ring is lead-free and of the correct type. Check for any contamination on the copper tube or fitting that may prevent the solder from flowing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Cut the copper tube to the desired length, ensuring a clean and square cut. Remove any burrs from the cut end using a deburring tool.
- Cleaning: Clean the outside of the copper tube and the inside of the fitting with a wire brush or emery cloth. This ensures a clean surface for soldering.
- Assembly: Insert the copper tube fully into the fitting. Ensure the tube is seated properly within the fitting.
- Heating: Apply heat evenly to the fitting using a blowtorch. The solder ring will melt and flow into the joint, creating a seal. Avoid excessive heat, which can damage the fitting or the solder.
