SOLDER RING ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Tools required:
Tube cutter, deburring tool, abrasive cloth, flux and blow lamp.
Assembly
• Ensure the copper tube and fitting sizes are compatible.
Cut the tube end square, and ensure it retains its shape.
• Deburr the tube, both inside and outside.
• Clean tube with an abrasive cloth, and fitting socket with a wire
brush.
• Apply a thin layer of flux to the tube, and to the fitting socket.
• Insert the tube into the fitting until the tube stop is reached. Rotate
the tube or fitting and remove excess flux where possible
• Light the blow lamp, and heat the fitting socket until the flux starts
to boil. Keep the flame moving over the fitting until a ring of solder
appears at the mouth of the socket. Do not provide excessive
heat or additional solder.
• Remove the blow lamp, allow to cool and wipe the joint(s) with a
damp cloth to remove flux residues.
• Flush all residues out of the system.
