solder which end of the pipe/fitting you apply it , on the side where your flame is or opposite ?

 

[SafeGasInstall]

I do that too :lol:

i do only when there is water in the pipe

And never solder a JG Speedfit straight as the fumes will kill ya.

I usually start swearing if i've got some water there.

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.

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 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

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?

Yes, agree, if solder flows at back of fitting, opposite side to flame, then you know fitting is heated & thus soldered fully.
