Overview
A lead-free solder wire with a low melting point flows into a seated copper joint, while a smooth, non-runny tinning flux pre-tins the pipe first. An abrasive cloth removes oxidation and an acid brush spreads the flux.
The reason to choose it is that nothing else is needed to begin: wire, flux, cloth and brush arrive together with instructions. The limitation is the small amount of solder and the absence of listed alloy or wire diameter.
Who it's for
Homeowners and apprentices doing a few copper joints get the full process in one kit. Professionals on long jobs, or anyone soldering something other than copper pipe, need more material or a different product.
Pros and cons
- Flux, brush and cloth all included
- Lead-free solder wire
- Low melting point wire flows into joints
- How-to instructions included
- Small solder quantity
- Torch not in the contents
- Wire diameter not listed
Performance notes
The abrasive cloth strips oxidation so flux and solder can wet the copper. Tinning flux cleans the copper and primes it for uniform flow, so the low melting point wire runs evenly into the seated joint.
