2. Flux (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_(metallurgy)

   Rosin used as flux for soldering A flux pen used for electronics rework Multicore solder containing flux Wire freshly coated with solder, held above molten rosin flux. In metallurgy, a flux is a chemical reducing agent, flowing agent, or purifying agent. Fluxes may have more than one function at a time.

3. Solder ring fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solder_ring_fitting

   To obtain functional joints, the inside of the fitting and the outside of the copper pipe are cleaned using steel wool or cleaning tape, flux paste is applied, the pipe is inserted into the fitting and heat is applied from a portable butane torch or propane torch until a ring of solder shows at the edges of the fitting. To obtain a durable ...

4. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

   Once the fitting and pipe have reached sufficient temperature, solder is applied to the heated joint, and the molten solder is drawn into the joint by capillary action as the flux vaporizes. "Sweating" is a term sometimes used to describe the soldering of pipe joints.

5. Soldering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldering

   Citric acid is an excellent water-soluble acid-type flux for copper and electronics [18] but must be washed off afterwards. Fluxes for soft solder are currently available in three basic formulations: Water-soluble fluxes – higher activity fluxes which can be removed with water after soldering (no VOCs required for removal).

6. Compression fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_fitting

   A compression fitting 15 mm isolating valve. A compression fitting is a fitting used in plumbing and electrical conduit systems to join two tubes or thin-walled pipes together. . In instances where two pipes made of dissimilar materials are to be joined (most commonly PVC and copper), the fittings will be made of one or more compatible materials appropriate for the connect

7. Wiped joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiped_joint

   Wiped joints were used for centuries to install water plumbing and similar joints can be seen in Roman plumbing. [3] As the wiping technique allowed a great deal of on-site flexibility for the style and dimensions of the work produced, this meant that plumbers needed few parts other than pipe, lead sheet and solder.
