Installation Instructions

1. Cut and Deburr Pipes: Use a pipe cutter to cut both copper pipes cleanly. Remove burrs with a deburring tool or file.

2. Clean Surfaces: Use emery cloth or a wire brush to clean the outer surfaces of the pipes and the inner surfaces of the fitting.

3. Apply Flux: Although solder is pre-installed, apply flux to promote capillary action and ensure a perfect seal.

4. Assemble the Joint: Insert each pipe into the coupler fully, ensuring a snug and centered fit.

5. Apply Heat: Use a propane or MAPP torch to apply even heat around the fitting until the solder melts and forms a visible bead.

6. Cool Naturally: Allow the joint to cool completely before handling or applying pressure.

7. Test the System: Once cool, perform a pressure or leak test to verify seal integrity.

Maintenance & Storage

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to protect the solder ring from moisture or corrosion.

• Handling: Avoid crushing or deforming the fittings, which could compromise the seal or connection.

• Installation Checks: Always clean pipes thoroughly and inspect joints after soldering for optimal results.

• System Monitoring: Visually inspect accessible joints periodically as part of routine maintenance, especially in high-demand systems.
