I do that too :lol:
Close to flame, but if hot enough, opposite side also, but as I am sure you know well, not necessary to solder all round, as heat & flux will do the job in a caplilary fitting.solder which end of the pipe/fitting you apply it , on the side where your flame is or opposite ?
Me too. Stuck half my piece (sandwich to non Jocks) down a inch main today. The whole of Alloa could here me shouting and screaming not nice things at a bit of pipe. The joys of plumbing.I usually start swearing if i've got some water there.
i apply opposite site and it does matter as to make sure that fitting/pipe is up to temp as otherwise if fitting/pipe is not fully visible it might not go all the way round
i'm glad you clarified that for us non jocks lolMe too. Stuck half my piece (sandwich to non Jocks) down a inch main today. The whole of Alloa could here me shouting and screaming not nice things at a bit of pipe. The joys of plumbing.
I dont do , but others may haveAlso, is it correct to solder with the flame or take the flame away when the pipe is hot enough then apply the solder and let it do the business?
You can do this, but usually better IMO to reapply heat again. I love it when the solder forms & stays a nice high solder ring on top of fitting. Great when it is somewhere on show. How sad am I? :smile:Also, is it correct to solder with the flame or take the flame away when the pipe is hot enough then apply the solder and let it do the business?
I never heard you in Kent Road. Probably drowned you out at the time shouting at the boy for getting on my wick.Me too. Stuck half my piece (sandwich to non Jocks) down a inch main today. The whole of Alloa could here me shouting and screaming not nice things at a bit of pipe. The joys of plumbing.
