When working with copper pipes are compression fittings good enough to use or is soldering recommended?

Compression fittings are suitable for DIY projects and situations where soldering is not preferred. However, soldering is generally recommended for a more secure and durable connection in plumbing applications involving copper pipes, especially in high-pressure systems or situations where vibration may be an issue.


Is it safe enough compressiom fitting in rediator pipe?

No. Compression fittings are NOT for steam pipes


Can you thread copper pipe?

The factory can as they do with their fittings: MIP's and FIP's Otherwise, it is not thick enough to put a thread on the regular copper pipes themselves.

How do you seal a copper flare joint?

A flare joint is used on gas fittings and uses a nut and flare fitting to make the connection. This is a dry fit with no joint compound. The copper is soft enough that it compresses with the nut and forms the seal.

What is special about DZR plumbing fittings?

DZR fittings are brass fittings. Brass is an alloy made of copper and zinc.Zinc costs less than copper.Therefore, most brass plumbing fittings and valve these days contain too much zinc, not enough copper.The safe zinc content for brass is usually around 15%The problem it creates is called "Dezincification": when a brass alloy contains more than 15% zinc, there is too much zinc to "fit" into the copper matrix (between the copper atoms), therefore the zinc slowly dissolves and leaches out of the part. Visually, you may see a white powder at the surface (zinc oxyde) and very red metal (copper rich brass). The copper rich metal that is left is very porous because it has lost its zinc ! It becomes brittle and weak and brakes eventually.DZR fittings are garanteed to contain proper amounts of zinc.Dezincification is nothing new, except that manufacturers play the numbers game and prefer to occasionnally pay for losses and damages when a part fails rather than sell their stuff at a higher price. To them its only a matter of bottom line. To you, it can mean thousands of dollars of damages and hassles.


Why are there no spark plugs on a compression ignition engine?

Yes, at a high enough temperature Copper will burn and combine with Oxygen to form Copper oxide.


How can I effectively solder a copper pipe?

To effectively solder a copper pipe, first clean the pipe and fittings with emery cloth. Apply flux to the cleaned surfaces. Heat the joint evenly with a propane torch. 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.
