Installation Instructions

1. Prepare the Pipe: Use a pipe cutter to achieve a clean, square cut on the copper pipe. Remove any burrs using a deburring tool.

2. Clean Surfaces: Use emery cloth or a pipe cleaning brush to clean both the outer surface of the pipe and the inside of the stop end fitting. This helps ensure optimal solder adhesion.

3. Apply Flux: Although the fitting includes pre-loaded solder, it is good practice to apply a thin, even layer of flux to the outside of the pipe to promote better solder flow.

4. Insert Pipe: Push the cleaned pipe fully into the stop end fitting until it meets the internal shoulder.

5. Heat the Joint: Use a propane or MAPP gas torch to apply heat evenly to the joint. The solder ring will melt and flow into the joint by capillary action, creating a strong bond.

6. Allow to Cool: Let the joint cool naturally without disturbing it to preserve the integrity of the seal.

7. Pressure Test: Once cooled, test the system under pressure to confirm that the joint is completely sealed and leak-free.

Care and Maintenance

• Storage: Store in a clean, dry location away from corrosive environments to preserve the condition of the solder ring.

• Handling: Avoid denting or deforming the fittings during transport or installation, as this may impair the effectiveness of the seal.

• Cleaning: Prior to installation, remove any surface oxidation or contaminants that could affect soldering performance.

• Inspection: Periodically inspect installed joints, especially in high-pressure or high-temperature systems, to ensure long-term reliability.

• Replacement: Damaged or corroded fittings should be removed and replaced immediately to maintain system integrity and prevent water damage.
