I felt that there's was a lot of people out there that like Diy projects and they do have the skill, and some of us have more time than we have money, but they all have one thing in common is they just need a little encouragement and close up on know-how. And in this video, I provide just that. Every shot is close-up and personal. I made these videos with the mindset of, How would I want to learn by watching videos, and these are the results.

Soldering copper pipe is not as hard as it may seem with a little know-how and practice you can become a pro in no time. Did you know that there are different grades of copper pipe? Yes, there's Type "M" used mostly on the residential job like your home and there's Type "L" used for commercials like large buildings and stores and even some homes where there communities water is very hard. And then there's "K" Copper Which is the thickest of the copper used a lot In A/C lines. "K" copper and "L" also come in soft rolls that you can roll out up to 60' but I wouldn't recommend you use it for inside water piping unless you're going to roll it out under a cement foundation called the loop system. They also have DWV copper. DWV copper is used for waste and vent in older homes and businesses DWV Meaning Drainage Waste and Vent. You can find out the type of copper by just reading the side of the pipe they are all labeled. It is important to note whenever you use a copper pipe and you're going to tie it into another type of metal pipe like Galvanized you will need a transition fitting to go between the two like a dielectric union so that the two metals don't touch each other because if they do there is something called electrolyzes that travel between the two making the metals crude out fast then normal. I buy a lot of my copper pipe from Plumbing Supply Houses, The Home Depot, Lowe's, and when you buy the copper fitting and if you're going to do a large job like re-pipe your home get the contractors pack and save money. The type of flux I get is called (NO CORD ) Solder type (Lead-free) any brand. The sand cloth I get the (Fiberglass cloth )good wet or dry. Gas (acetylene) in the blue bottle and your local hardware store. I Always keep a pair of Channel Lock Pliers in my back pocket when I work for quick and easy access when I need to egg shape and copper fitting to stay in place. Always egg shape it when the fitting is on the pipe because if you egg shape it before that it will be hard to put on the pipe.
