ring).Now you will need to apply a thing coating of plumbing solder flux
around the pipe. Use a brush to do this as plumbing solder flux will usually con-
tain some sort of acid, which means it must not come in direct contact with your
skin. Use a twisting movement to insert the pipe in the connector and assemble
the rest of the pipes into the body of the connecter. You should never solder
every pipe separately as all need to be linked in the same operation. The heat
skin will be utilized to protect the area around the pipes when using the blow
torch. Now you will need to light the blowtorch and let it heat up for around
2 minutes. Get the torch to a bright blue flame and you are ready for soldering.
To sold standard plain fittings that do not have built in plumbing solder
you have to use solder manually. Evenly apply heat to the whole joint after un-
rolling a length of solder and play the flame
across every joint. Make sure that
you move the flame all around it and as soon as you see the solder flux bub-
bling you have to apply the end of the solder to the joint. Thanks to a capillary
action the solder will be drawn between the fitting and the pipe. You can also
sold fittings that come with solder that is already placed where it is needed as
soon as you apply heat. The solder will fill the gap between the pipe and the fit-
ting. Always apply heat evenly and as soon as a ring of solder will appear in the
gap you have to remove the heat source. If you apply to much heat the plumb-
ing solder will get out of the joint and the link will not be established. Allow it
all to cool, check for leaks and you are done.
