As you know I use a hard silver solder on my parts but after our conversation I ordered what you use and although it's a bit different it's been pretty easy and will help out with some of my projects. Thanks for the info brother!
I do some DIY stuff at home but on a much smaller scale and I have a hard time soldering stainless and copper together. Always seems it doesn't want to stick to the stainless. Nice work Adam.
No way that solder is making a good bond to the stainless any amount of pressure will show you that it would fail under pressure a threaded connection would be stronger and not fail solder copper to copper mechanical connection for copper to stainless
@@RandallMartin-zx6yd well, idk what to tell other than 10 years of experience says otherwise. Not to mention all the other companies that have been doing to same for a decade + Even if you were right ( which I don’t believe you are) stills rarely reach 5psi. And if for some reason there’s a blockage most companies use a pressure release valve that pops off at 5psi. So, I respectfully, while heartedly disagree.
@copperstillco you are doing nothing to. That stainless flange that solder isn't penatrating nothing on the stainless side only thing holding it in is how tight of a fit you had and the silver solder as a filler but as for a bo d between the stainless and the copper there's none if you think you can try soldering a straight stick of copper to a stick of stainless no. FITTINGS just pipe to pipe solder and pipe no FITTINGS good luck you should be able to I can solder two copper pipes together with no FITTINGS just a standard beveled end not knocking your work but your not scratching that stainless with that setup
@@RandallMartin-zx6yd This is an ancient video when I worked for another company. Yes, correct, there wasn’t anything done to the stainless. We were never taught that there. But I do, do that. Reference video: th-cam.com/video/XWDUcL9Ivqo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xCgXxjiFNy8d7HEt th-cam.com/video/XWDUcL9Ivqo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xCgXxjiFNy8d7HEt That being said, in the 10years I’ve been doing this. There’s never been an issue. That speaks to something. Withstands at least 140 PSI no problem. 🤷🏻♂️
@@RandallMartin-zx6yd also. I solder a straight stick of copper to a stainless end cap ask the time. Never tried the stainless tube to copper tube. However. I have done copper to copper pipe no fitting. That was years ago though. Go check out more of my content on TikTok. I have more there.
@copperstillco LISTEN. I'M NOT SAYING THAT. THE WORK YOU DO ISN'T GOOD. WORK HELL LOOKS GOOD ENOUGH THAT. I WOULD BUY. ONE. IF. I DIDN'T MAKE MY OWN STAINLESS LOOKS GOOD. ON. ONE. BUT. I JUST. STICK. TO. STRAIGHT. COPPER. IT'S SO. MUCH. EASIER YOU MAKE. THESE VIDEOS SHOWING SOME DAM GOOD. LOOKING. WORK BUT. ADDING. THE. STAINLESS. JUST COMPLICATED THINGS FOR THE DO IT YOURSELF. GUY. AT. HOME IT COULD WORK A. 100 TIMES BUT THAT ONE. TIME IT. DOESN'T THINGS. JUST MIGHT. GO. BOOM A LEAK. AT. THE TRUMPER COULD. BE. DEADLY I PERSONALLY MYSELF MAKE SOLID COPPER. OR. SOLID. STAINLESS I DON'T MIX THE TWO TOGETHER. NOY SAYING YOU CAN'T BUT IF I DID IT WOULD BE A MECHANICAL FITTING OR SOLDER TO MECHANICAL AND GO FROM THERE RIGH KNOW IM IN THE. PROCESS OF BUILDING A 30" CIRCUMFERENCE STILL PERFECT CIRCLE WITH A 5 ' REFLUX OUT OF THE TOP WITH THE CURVATURE OF THE CIRCLE WOULD HAVE NO RESISTANCE TO THE REF,LUX. I THINK I JUST MIGHT HAVE A DIFFERENT LOOK BUT THE BOYYOM LINE IS THE WORKINk
Note: I’m using Silvabrite 100 with Harris Water soluable flux. I’m not using any specialty flux or solder.
