Soldering copper is an important skill for plumbers. In this video Plumber-Tom demonstrates the step by step process involved with soldering copper pipe. The steps are based on the recommended process from Modern Plumbing 9th Edition Chapter 11.
Soldering copper involves cleaning and reaming the pipe, brushing the inside of the fitting, applying flux to the copper pipe and fitting, applying heat and melting solder into the joint.
Don't forget to be safe! Wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses and gloves is essential!
