What else can I help you with?
Can you solder brass to copper?
Yes, brass can be soldered to copper using a soldering iron and appropriate soldering techniques.
Can you connect chromed steel pipe directly to copper or do you need a brass fitting between?
In order to connect a chromed steel pipe to a copper pipe, you will need a brass fitting. These two pipes will not fit into each other otherwise.
Can you solder a brass fitting to copper?
Certainly look up Flagg Flow T.P Fittings T.P thread-less copper fittings will FIT on schedule 40/80 /120 Brass pipe Ideally it should be brazed but soldering will hold domestic water pressures Also many solder fittings ARE CAST BRASS rather then wrought copper
What glue is used to connect brass to copper tubes?
You don't glue it, you sweat them. That is the term used for soldering them together.
Do you need pipe dope to connect brass pipe to copper pipe?
NO but you will need some type of sealent OR braze or soldering
What is the difference between hand soldering and soft soldering?
The type of material used to connect the pieces. Solder is used on copper or brass. Brazing uses a copper alloy and is used on Iron based items. Same process in how it is done.
How do you solder copper to brass fittings?
Take either an SOS pad or a wire brush and rough up both the inside of the brass fitting and outside of copper pipe, put the copper pipe into the fitting and solder around it.
How can you fix a dishwasher leak with a copper fitting?
1st you need to know where the leak is. The only time a copper fitting or brass fitting will fix a leak is in the watersupply connection.
Can you connect copper to galvanized by using a bronze fitting?
Yes! The best copper-to-galvanized connection is made using a brass nipple in between the two dissimilar metals. The nipple should be a minimum of 2 1/2" long (preferably six inches long). Bronze is an alloy (copper + tin). Brass is an alloy (copper + zinc).
Is it ok to connect a copper fitting into an old brass water line Are the two metals compatible?
It is generally not recommended to connect copper fittings to old brass water lines, as the two metals can cause galvanic corrosion over time due to their different compositions. It is best to use fittings and pipes made of the same material to avoid potential corrosion issues. If you must connect copper to brass, utilizing dielectric unions or other isolation methods can help mitigate corrosion risks.
How do you attach a half inch brass line to a half inch copper shut off the brass is thicker than the copper?
By the use of Flagg Flow T.P Fitting adapters and Cx M or C x F adapters attached to the T.P fitting T.P = threadless pipe
Is it okay to connect copper pipe to brass to galvanized to brass and back to copper or will it cause a reaction that will corrode the pipes?
If you do connect copper pipe to galvanized pipe, you will need a dielectric coupling or else the galvanized pipe will corrode. Same with connecting galvanized pipe to brass fittings. Brass is an alloy that contains copper and therefore the same electrolytic properties will exist unless a dielectric coupling is used. Hope that helps you out.
