To properly solder a copper pipe, first clean the pipe and fitting with emery cloth. Apply flux to both the pipe and fitting, then heat the joint with a propane torch. Once the joint is hot enough, touch the solder to the joint and let it flow around the connection. Allow the joint to cool and wipe away any excess solder.
For copper pipe, lead-free solder is recommended to ensure safe and effective connections.
To fix a copper pipe, you can use a pipe cutter to remove the damaged section, clean the ends of the pipe, and then solder a new piece of copper pipe in place using a propane torch and solder. Be sure to follow proper safety precautions and techniques when working with a torch.
YOU thread or braze copper pipe Copper tubling you solder, braze, flaire, compression ring, mechincal joints
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.

What to use to solder a shut off valve
Use a lead-free silver solder. It is the only thing that can handle the pressure and bond with the copper pipe.
To repair a copper pipe, you can use a pipe cutter to remove the damaged section, clean the ends of the pipe, and then solder a new piece of copper pipe in place using a propane torch and solder. Make sure to follow proper safety precautions and techniques when soldering to ensure a secure and leak-free repair.
It is probably referring to the type of fitting. A fitting that is soldered to a copper pipe. It is called sweating when you use solder and a torch to connect copper pipe together or attach fittings to copper pipe.
To sweat copper pipe effectively, clean the pipe and fittings, apply flux to the cleaned surfaces, heat the joint evenly with a torch, and then apply solder to the joint. The solder will melt and flow into the joint, creating a strong bond when it cools.

Once the joint is hot enough, apply solder to the joint. The solder will melt and flow into the joint, creating a strong bond. Allow the joint to cool before testing for leaks.
