Soldering

[rocketmanbkk]

Now then, I fixed a leaky pipe, ch, leak was a hole in pipe about a meter from the valve in rad. I drained down, cut pipe & soldered a new piece of pipe in. Filled up all ok (makes a change).

So, my mate whos a gas engineer said I should never solder that close to a valve without taking the pipe out if the valve.

Any comments?

I know if there's a rubber washer in a fitting, say a drain cock you should remove the rubber & then solder.

Cheers
