LOW HEAT TAKE YOUR TIME !!!!! not need for big bad flame

Remember though I've seen your work. IMHO you shouldn't be giving advise to anybody.

I don't think you're as dumb as you pretend to be, I think your reason for creating an account here was to give yourself a giggle.

I really think he's on a mission from another forum or something to see how far he gets.

i like the kopex 15/22mm cleaner/deburrer tried the plastic one just fall apart
its a good rythem to get into measuring cutting cleaning soldering then cleaning agen
remember flux the pipe not the fittings.and use a fitting bush just to clean off any crap from machining

test pump for new pipe work your plumber will pobs have one and wont mind testing it for you

 

[happyflyer]

You should really let the pipe cool down naturally, spraying cold water onto it while hot could ultimately give you a bad joint.

Keefy,


How right you are but how many people know, more now I hope, blow on it like hot chips mmmmm :toilet: this donut's snot leaking...

 

[supper plumb]

the water is thee to dampen areas that you mite struggle to get a heat mat or just be a tart and use la-co cool gel heat barrier spray :rolleyes2:

This torch? Rothenberger Super-Fire 2 Gas Blow Torch | eBay

 

[helpsy]

Cut a length of pipe up into small sections, say an inch or two per piece and join then together with couplings. Practice soldering from below too. Remember to remove the flame before applying the solder.

There's so much to learn if this is your first time doing such a job but if you're willing to listen and take the advice offered by the members here you should be okay. You could probably do with getting your camera out to keep us updated.

Supper Plumb is keeping us updated with his photos !:-D
