What is sweated copper?
Sweating copper is a method of joining two pieces of copper, generally copper pipes. The surfaces to be joined are first cleaned, then heated generally with a gas torch, then a flux is applied (flux is a material to prevent oxidation of the copper when heated) then a film of solder is run onto the cleaned surfaces whilst hot. This solder is "wiped" off leaving a fine film of solder on the copper. This is generally referred to as priming. The two surfaces can now be soldered together to make a water tight joint. Sometime bronze is used instead of solder but the operation is similar.
