When soldering - always have the valve open. It saves the navy seals XD

Very good. I always use 1/4” soft copper for a waterline to a fridge. Plastic will get pinholes in it after 15-20 years and can leak. Copper is bulletproof

you should always have the valve removed if possible before heating the pipe to solder. some of them have plastic seats to seal the valve.

I have seen 2 hard wood floors soaked, swelled up. They did not put the little tube or pipe inside plastic line.

For those who have timber floors, these plastic lines to fridges don't last forever. I'm a Floor sander and every year I do a few jobs where one of these pipes have a leak and destroy the timber floor from water damage.

1st thing to do is heat fitting because this has more mass and requires more heat energy from the heat gun to enable solder to melt. Then touch solder to either left or right copper to copper connection. These benefit from the heat supplied to the dense fitting above. To much heat leads to uncontrollable solder runs.

Am open end is very important otherwise the heated air will expand and push the solder out if there is no other end

This is how u connect water for fridge. NEVER use a tapping valve

I have burned to many valve seals when first starting out so i do my best to leave the valve off if possible. In close situations it cant be helped.

I'd use my Knipex pliers over all others. What could happen if you apply the heat after you apply that plastic outside of it and melting insanely fast once it makes contact with that nice hot pipe 😁😁😜

The problem is, you don't want to sweat that tee on with the valve shut. Always leave valve open when heat is applied. Also take a second to wipe away excess flux to avoid large solder drips. Lastly, don't keep the flame on the pipe and fitting after heated. Just heat the pipe and fitting and move flame out of the way. Learn the basics first and your on your way to becoming an apprentice plumbers assistant.
