Allow the joint to cool before testing for leaks.
What is the number one key to a successful copper pipe Sweat?
The number one key to a successful copper pipe sweat joint is achieving proper heat application. This involves using the right torch and flame size to evenly heat the joint without overheating the copper, which can lead to oxidation. Additionally, ensuring that the surfaces of the pipe and fitting are clean and free of oxidation or debris is crucial for a strong bond. Finally, using the appropriate solder and allowing it to flow into the joint properly will ensure a reliable seal.
How can you re-solder a joint in a copper pipe without removing it The water has been shut off and the joint is running vertically but when heat is applied more water sweats out?
