How do I ensure a good solder joint?
Ensure surfaces are clean, properly fluxed, heated evenly, and that solder is applied to the correct area until the joint is fully filled. Allow to cool undisturbed.
Troubleshooting
Joint is leaking after soldering
Ensure pipe and fitting were clean and properly fluxed. Reheat the joint and apply more solder, or consider if the pipe was fully inserted.
Solder not flowing into the joint
Ensure the fitting and pipe were heated evenly. Check that sufficient heat is being applied, and that the solder is being applied to the correct part of the joint.
Fitting does not fit onto the pipe
Verify that both the pipe and the fitting are the correct size (15mm). Ensure the pipe end is not deformed and that no debris is obstructing the entry.
