SOLDER STICK FOR PLUMBING

Description

Solder sticks for plumbing are specialized consumables used in soldering copper pipes and fittings in plumbing applications. Typically made of an alloy composed of tin and lead or tin and silver, these solder sticks have a lower melting point than the pipes being joined, allowing them to flow into the joint by capillary action when heated with a soldering iron or torch. They create strong and leak-proof connections, essential for ensuring the integrity of plumbing systems. Solder sticks for plumbing come in various diameters and compositions, allowing plumbers to choose the most suitable type for their specific application and local regulations regarding lead content.
