Hi Thanks for teach secrets Techniques @ heat, Flux and soldering. I was try home several time at my home. I couldn’t succeed. When I watched I found my mistake. Thanks 🙏
@marttram2183 Salty much, dont like him learning and saving money? Do better bro I’m sure his repair was fine and if not he can redo it and continue to learn
I probably owe you a delicious breakfast, man, because you really saved my bacon today! My wife Connie has a thing about filtered water, so I bought a house filter for our new place and figured I’d handle the install myself. I’d never messed with copper pipes before, but your tutorial gave me the courage to try something new. Everything went smoothly except for the last two joints; there was a trickle of water in the line that I had to deal with. Thanks for your expert guidance. If you’re ever in Richmond, VA, breakfast is on me.
You going to get leaks soldering like that. I work on commerical plumbing. Big pipe. I have plumbers come over from housing to commerical plumbing and always have leaks because they dont move the torch around and get even heat. They do just as you show in the video and only heat the bottom of the pipe. Move that torch around. Start on the bottom and finish on top.
Indeed, excellent demonstration of how to solder copper pipe with VERY important *details, why makes this video excellent, in **all** angles! VERY well done indeed n thank U!
Thank you for the video! Today I actually had to try my best to help a customer with soldering and fixing pipe and I explained to them that I knew nothing about torches and welding but I try my best Google and RUclips to see if I can help find what they was looking for I don't think I was much help because I've never done this type of work myself I'm grateful for you to show a beginning video and explain what to do and how to do it so that is give me some what of knowledge of what I need to tell my customers when they asked me about soldering and welding. Again I say thank you!
Watching this video for a class, but you are a legend. This is such a good tutorial! Everything makes sense and you explain it very well. Im actually hyped up now to go do my first solder joint
Just learned this process, I was applying the solder while the torch was heating. Turning it off is definitely better, glad I came across this! Thanks a ton
Yeah I was going to say the same thing. I’ve done lots of brazing lately and the process is similar but more forgiving in some ways. I’m going to practice pulling the torch away. I think not cleaning my old joints is another issue.
Great video, I’ve been in the trades for 5 years now and I always find myself putting the press fittings aside and soldering on projects that people can see like boiler work, it always looks cleaner. Plus it’s a great skill to have
Thank you for opening my mind I was totally blank about soldering skills, now you have made me understand the all concept through your well explanation thank you sir!
In school for HVACR never soldered before and this is our next hands on it’s in my book but in a visual/ hands on learner so this definitely helps thanks for sharing
Dude, I've seen some videos and your video explains this very thoroughly, step by step, I wish You were One of My Teacgers in Highschool... You explained Type of Gas, Soder, where to heat because heat rises ect...thank you...
I just recently started at a vocational highschool, and one of the shops I will be visiting is plumbing. I had no idea what soldering was until he was explaining what we would be doing. I just wanted a head start and this was great explaining and I’m less scared.
In the HVAC field, so i do aloottt more brazing than i do soft soldering. funny cause i always watched plumbers on job sites doing this, and would just spark up conversation with them, and id be talking about how hard soft soldering is and they laugh and ask how tf we braze so easily. After being in the construction side of HVAC for 3 years and running alot of copper drains for freezers and water lines for ice machines i finally got soldering down pretty well.
2:42 "We're gonna heat up our pipe from the bottom as heat rises" Hot air rises; heat energy will go toward the area of the pipe that is the least warm before it will go in any other or in all directions.
School Flashback. I miss college. The basics here should never be forgotten. Don't forget, Padawans; you will rarely have the ability to mimic the lab when you're on the field.
Wipe away the flux still showing before you apply the torch. I see this mistake all the time. If not the solder can run wherever there is flux and you only want solder inside the joint. Also, try to touch the solder only once rather than many times. It will be sucked all around the fitting no matter where you apply it. Just push it in. You won’t need more than say 0.5cm of solder Lastly, in the video the flux was starting to boil away. This is one of the biggest mistakes - if too much heat for too long the flux will simply boil off completely and then you have no chance. Having said all that to hopefully help, this was a nice video 👏
Not trying to be snarky, your advice is muchly appreciated. But do you have a channel wherein you teach diy? If not, it looks like you probably should.
Love the advice but I don’t agree with no matter where you touch it. It’ll will suck all the way around. Especially on bigger diameter pipe. You need to hit the top and bottom it won’t always go all the way around
@@Christian_counsel how big are you talking? I’ve just finished an install of mostly 28 and 35mm diameter copper. You of course need to turn up the torch, but principle is the same. 👍
Not a beginner but definitely a student very helpful thank you just a question would you have been able to do both sides of the elbow at one time if your heat located properly? I understand this is a beginner video
Great video...I plan on replacing my 1944 galvanized pipe to copper pipe...just need to practice on my soldering skills until I feel confident about my solder joints....
Sometimes you have to draw a fine line between overheating and underheating the joint. I find sometimes the flux burns off too quickly and the solder does not adhere. The outside edge starts to look very brittle. I’ve been practicing on pipe that is not physically used for water flow. I would hate to find out turning on the main water yielding the joint to leak. I am using Mapp gas. Any other suggestions? Update: The joint came out beautifully using a better quality flux that looks more like Vaseline and a very good quality solder. I heat the pipe up a little bit first so that the inner part of the pipe is warm then I heat the outside sleeve and slowly introduced to solder. It gets sucked up and I wipe it off immediately with a leather glove and it is a professional looking joint.
Mine works it’s a little sloppier first time though I ever soldered. I used an electric heat gun which did work it’s slower then a torch but I only had one joint.
I’m not a plumber but you definitely took the “rocket” out of soldering a copper joints and turned it into science. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I always finish on top. Call me boring

Sometimes you have to draw a fine line between overheating and underheating the joint. I find sometimes the flux burns off too quickly and the solder does not adhere. The outside edge starts to look very brittle. I’ve been practicing on pipe that is not physically used for water flow. I would hate to find out turning on the main water yielding the joint to leak. I am using Mapp gas. Any other suggestions?
Update: The joint came out beautifully using a better quality flux that looks more like Vaseline and a very good quality solder. I heat the pipe up a little bit first so that the inner part of the pipe is warm then I heat the outside sleeve and slowly introduced to solder. It gets sucked up and I wipe it off immediately with a leather glove and it is a professional looking joint.
One thing to point out. Mapp gas isn't what it used to be. It's not much different than propane now
Use a vacuume
