Troubleshooting
Joint leaks after cooling
The joint likely did not reach the correct temperature or lacked sufficient solder. Clean the area, reheat, and re-apply solder.
Solder does not flow into the joint
Check that the pipe is properly deburred and cleaned. Ensure enough flux was applied and that the pipe was inserted completely.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure both the 8mm copper pipe and the inside of the coupling are cleaned with an abrasive pad to remove oxidation. Apply an appropriate plumbing flux to the pipe end before inserting it fully into the coupling. Apply heat evenly to the fitting until the solder melts upon contact with the joint, allowing capillary action to pull the solder into the connection. Once cooled, wipe away excess flux to prevent future corrosion. This fitting is exclusively designed for 8mm copper tubing and is not compatible with PEX or PVC piping. Store in a dry, cool environment to prevent pre-installation oxidation.
