Solder - lead and tin uses?

A solder is a metal or alloy that has a melting point range of 90 to 450 degrees Celsius (200 to 840 degrees Fahrenheit). The melting point range makes sure that the metal or alloy is easily handled at room temperature, can be melted to join other metallic surfaces when a moderate amount of heat is applied, and returns to a solid state when it cools down to make the joining permanent. Lead has a melting point of 327.46 degrees Celsius (621.43 degrees Fahrenheit) and therefore it can be used as solder. Mercury, however, has a melting point of -38.83 degrees Celsius (-37.89 degrees Fahrenheit) and it is liquid even at room temperature. Therefore it cannot be used as solder because a liquid that does not solidify cannot be expected to join two surfaces permanently.


Why is lead-free solder used?

Lead is toxic to humans (causes brain damage) thus when using a solder to join copper water pipes it is best not to use a solder containing lead as this will get into the water passing through the pipes and slowly poison the user of this water.


Should I use acid or solid or resin core solder for copper pipe?

Use lead-free solder, 0.2 percent lead or less. Lead free means NO Lead your better off with a silver bearing alloy as it has a longer pasty range or 95% tin 5% antimoney Actually the term "solder" means lead bearing according to the AWS specifications

How do you remove the broken closet flange from a cast iron drain pipe?

I removed the broken flange by perforating the lead filling between the drain pipe and the flange - i.e., drilling holes every 1/4-1/2 inch or so with a regular drill and then sawing through the filling with a power saber saw. Then pried the flange off with a pry bar. Wasn't as bad as I expected. - Dan

How do you connect a plastic toilet flange to a lead drain line in cement basement floor?

First, in order to accomplish this task, be sure the plastic flange fits the opening in question. It this is new work and anchor bolts or anchorbolt holes are not already in place, fit the flange to the lead drain line as you want it to go and by this guide, using a cement bit, drill holes in the cement(assuming the basement floor is cement). Two holes are required. After the holes are drilled, force lead inserts into the holes. These are to screw the anchoring bolts into to hold the flange stable. Choose the correct lead inserts and the side drill bit to match. Any hardware store can match these up for you. The remount the flange, through the proper holes in the flange, the ones you used as a guide for the holes, then insert the ancholr bolts and tighten down. It Holes are already in place and no lead inserts are already in the holes, simply obtain the proper inserts, bolts and Voila! do according to the above, simple yes?
