You'll need a pipe cutter, deburring tool, flux, solder, a blowtorch, and a brush for applying the flux.
Use solder specifically designed for copper pipes and plumbing applications. Ensure it meets local plumbing codes.
Properly clean the pipe and fitting, use flux, ensure the solder flows completely around the joint, and avoid overheating the joint during soldering.
Generally, it's not recommended to reuse endfeed fittings once they've been soldered, as the integrity of the solder joint may be compromised.
This adaptor fits 22mm pipes and has a 3/4" female coupler.
Turn the water supply back on and carefully inspect all joints for any signs of water leakage. Use a paper towel to check for dampness around each joint.
Wear safety glasses, work in a well-ventilated area, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Be careful when using a blowtorch.
With proper installation and care, the Plumbright Endfeed Straight Adaptor can last for many years, often matching the lifespan of the copper pipes in your system.
Check if the solder has fully filled the joint. If not, reheat and add more solder. Ensure the pipe was properly cleaned before soldering. Also, check for any pinholes.
Ensure you are using the correct solder and flux for copper pipes. Make sure the fitting and pipe are completely clean and free of any debris or oxidation. Ensure that you are heating the fitting and not the pipe itself.
Check for any obstructions within the pipe or fitting. Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting to allow full flow. If the pipe is damaged or bent, replace it.
