Great video. I liked that you went a bit further and showed how to take apart connections and other plumbing fitting options to soldering.

Like you said, I followed your instructions and didnt have a problem. Couldn't believe it on first try because I had 3 spots to solder and not one of them leaked! I think it was your tips on good cleaning and flux methods. Thank you. Subscribed.

I've always been told to refrain from putting flux on the inside of the pipe ( 4:57 ). When you slide the two sections together some of the flux from the inside of the pipe will end up being pushed into the pipe potentially contaminating the inside of the copper pipe and your water supply. Putting flux on the outside portion of the pipe is sufficient. Excess flux on that outer section will be pushed out and not into the pipe. Great tutorial. Id just avoid putting flux on the inside section if it were me.

First, I never knew that they also used those battery terminal cleaners as pipe cleaners for sweating, but it makes perfect sense the way they are built why not market them for both jobs. Also I love the tip for the top and bottom pipe cutter. I'd never thought of that and have had that issue in the past where I ended up using a hack saw blade with duct tape on it as a handle to cut my pipe. Seriously you have some really awesome tips for guys that don't do this on a daily basis but might need to get a job done.

I soldered about 30 fittings over the past year after not soldering for many years. Everything was great until in a new install in a utility structure I got a tiny leak. I took the pipe out and saw the solder did not flow all the way around the joint. Not quite sure why but I became more disciplined and careful as a result. Really enjoyed the way your video tackles the subject even the magic marker for the shark bite connection. I wondered about that and I see for sure it is a good way to know the pipe is in all the way when you are in a situation in a wall with limited access. Thanks!

Hi Paul, best video I've see in a long time. U gave me the confidence to change out my water heater along with soldering all the copper fittings. Cheers to you 👍. Ty. Jeff

Yours was the best yet. I was trying to heat all sides of the copper pipe and solder all sides. Your joints looked 100% perfect. I tried MAP gas and propane. I know the pros use MAP, but for beginners it takes a little skill because I have burned the pipe and the flux and my joints sucked and I to redo!! :)
