Installation Instructions
-
Pipe Preparation: Cut the copper pipe squarely and deburr all edges for a smooth fit.
-
Surface Cleaning: Clean both pipe ends and the inside of the reducer using emery cloth or a wire brush.
-
Apply Flux: For optimal solder flow, apply a thin layer of flux to the pipe ends before assembly.
-
Insert Pipe: Push the pipes into the reducer fitting until fully seated.
-
Apply Heat: Use an appropriate gas torch to heat the fitting evenly. The solder ring will melt and create a strong seal.
-
Cooling Period: Allow the fitting to cool naturally. Do not disturb the joint during cooling.
-
Pressure Testing: Once cooled, test the system to ensure leak-free performance.
Care and Maintenance
-
Storage: Store in a dry, sealed container to prevent premature oxidation of the solder.
-
Handling: Avoid dropping or crushing the fittings to maintain structural integrity.
-
Pre-Installation Check: Inspect the solder ring for any visible damage or contamination before use.
-
Post-Installation: Occasionally inspect visible joints for signs of wear or corrosion, especially in high-use systems.
-
Replacement: Always replace damaged or corroded reducers with new fittings to maintain system reliability.
