Love this video. Just did my first solder joints today, made the mistake of heating the top of the fitting and the solder didn't run down. This vid put things into perspective. Going to give it another bash tomorrow. Also love how you cleaned it up at the end, came up nice 👍🏽
Nice explanation. One thing these demos always forget, is joining a pipe that's got or had water in it. I tried soldering a working pipe and it wouldn't solder. Spoke to a plumber and he told me it was because of the water, it will ALWAYS cool the copper down. He said place some bread into the pipe and push it up past the place where you're joining and it will stop the water coming through. Then once the pipe is soldered, the bread will come out with the pressure of the water.
Great video buddy but I've watched this several times and swear you only fed the solder into one side of the fitting, but not the other. Yet it's soldered at the end. Did you solder the other side of the fitting off camera?
Very well explained and a good clear video. You didn't give a link to the solder - presumably the length needed depends on the thickness of the solder??
Silly question but do you use the same size connector as the pipe, as in a 15mm connector to 15 mm pipe or do you need a slightly bigger connector so the pipe can fit into it ?
I'm new to this. I was wondering why no one solders the bottom, I know the top looks good, but how do you know they're is enough on the bottom to hold ?? Thank you for the video.......
@@shouwill I agree, we only saw one side of the connector have solder applied; I'm guessing that very soon after that the focus of the torch moved slightly to the bottom of the other end and solder was fed in there in the same way. Must have ended up on the cutting room floor during the edit. :-)
What a fantastic explanation of how to soldier pipework.
Thanks 🙏
Really helpful. So far the most helpful video(s) on soldering. Best detailed explanation.
Thanks very much
@@TheDIYGuy1 I still can't do it though. Ha

great video thank U...
Please guys like it in beginning watching the there you will not forget. Well explain. Thank you.

Great explanation mate. You have some very useful videos. Will subscribe. Keep up the good work
Thanks for the sub :)
🔥 Top Soldering vid ! Much appreciated 👍
Thanks for your comment
Great way of explaining, thanks
You are welcome!

Glad you like the video.
Well explained, thanks man ;)
Thanks, glad you find it helpful
what about the other end of the joint? Do you do that wjth the same heat or let it cool first?
Great explanations mate! 👍🏾
Thanks, glad you like the vid.
Doesnt the solder melt when you solder the second joint??
So how do you solder the other end without the heat loosening the first joint?
You'll have to solder both joints at the same time
great 👍
Are you supposed to apply flux inside the fitting?
I found this channel too late :( Yet.. great content with no nonsense :)
Welcome aboard!
what is the link for the Senra ?
Silly question but do you use the same size connector as the pipe, as in a 15mm connector to 15 mm pipe or do you need a slightly bigger connector so the pipe can fit into it ?
No questions are silly. 15mm fittings are used for 15mm pipe.
@@TheDIYGuy1 thank you so much. Very helpful. I love your videos and have subscribed.
Lead-free solder, what do you recommend? or is it all much the same?
Fernox is good stuff
I'm new to this.

Your welcome. Capillary action and the correct amount of solder used will ensure there is enough solder in the joint.
@@TheDIYGuy1 Thank you so much, I'm going to give this a try, thank again.
@@TheDIYGuy1 I understand that but as a beginner how can I be certain that its sealed the joint before the pipes gets hidden.
@@su13man1403 pressure test it
@@su13man1403 visually inspect the joint and you should see a continuous bead of solder.

did you solder both ends ?
Yes I did
...not on this video..?
