Troubleshooting
Solder not flowing into the joint
Ensure both pipe and fitting are clean and properly fluxed. Check that the joint is heated evenly and sufficiently before applying solder. The solder should melt from the heat of the fitting, not directly from the flame.
Leaking joint after installation
The joint may not have been heated sufficiently, or the solder may not have penetrated fully. Re-heat the joint and apply more solder, ensuring it flows completely around the fitting. If the leak is significant, the joint may need to be cut out and redone.
Fitting discolored or oxidized before use
Lightly clean the fitting with emery cloth or a wire brush to remove oxidation before applying flux and proceeding with installation. Store fittings in a clean, dry place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Apply flux evenly to the pipe end and the inside of the fitting.
- Insert the pipe fully into the fitting.
- Heat the joint evenly using a propane torch.
