How to Use ORACSTAR PF54 Solder Ring Elbow 15mm 2/PK
Introduction
The ORACSTAR PF54 Solder Ring Elbow 15mm is designed for connecting two copper pipes at a 90-degree angle. It contains solder within the fitting, making the soldering process more streamlined.
Materials Required
- ORACSTAR PF54 Solder Ring Elbow 15mm
 - Copper pipes (15mm diameter)
 - Blowtorch
 - Flux
 - Pipe cutter
 - Pipe cleaner or emery cloth
 - Heat-resistant gloves
 - Safety goggles
 
Preparation
- Ensure your work area is well-ventilated and free of flammable materials.
 - Wear safety goggles and heat-resistant gloves to protect yourself.
 - Cut the copper pipes to the desired length using a pipe cutter.
 - Use a pipe cleaner or emery cloth to clean the ends of the pipes, removing any dirt, grease, or oxidation.
 
Assembly
- Apply a thin layer of flux to the cleaned ends of the copper pipes.
 - Insert the pipe ends into the ORACSTAR PF54 Solder Ring Elbow fitting.
 - Ensure that the pipes are fully inserted and seated within the fitting.
 
Soldering
- Heat the fitting with a blowtorch. Move the torch around the fitting to ensure even heating.
 - As the fitting heats up, the solder ring inside will melt and flow into the joint, creating a secure seal.
 - Once the solder has flowed evenly, remove the heat and allow the joint to cool naturally.
 
Final Steps
- Inspect the joint to ensure the solder has filled the entire circumference of the fitting.
 - Wipe away any excess flux with a damp cloth.
 - Test the connection by running water through the pipes to check for leaks.
 
Safety Tips
- Always work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling harmful fumes.
 - Use appropriate safety gear, including goggles and gloves, to protect against heat and solder splatter.
 - Do not touch the joint until it has fully cooled to prevent burns.
