Troubleshooting
Solder not flowing into the joint
Ensure pipe and fitting are clean, properly fluxed, and heated evenly. Check that the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting socket. Avoid overheating, which can burn off the flux.
Leak detected after soldering
The joint may not have been properly heated or filled with solder. Carefully drain the system, reheat the joint, and re-solder. If the leak persists, the fitting may be damaged and require replacement.
Fitting discolored after installation
This is likely due to external heat during soldering. Ensure adequate heat shielding is used. Minor discoloration typically does not affect performance but can be cleaned with appropriate metal polish if desired for aesthetic reasons.
