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.
