Installation of Endfeed Fittings

For correct installation method follow the following guide

  1. Cut tube with a pipe cutter trim and remove any irregularity
  2. Clean the end of the tube with steel wire wool. Ensure that the fittings are perfectly clean inside, using wire wool.
  3. Apply flux to the end of the tube, and inside the fitting. Push the fitting onto the tube and rotate it to evenly distribute the flux.
  4. Heat you will require a reel of suitable solder and should unroll a little so that it can be applied without getting your hands too close to the heat. Light the blowtorch and allow it to burn for a minute or two. This allows the nozzle to heat up, which seems to reduce the chance of the flame flaring up when the torch is tilted.Gently and evenly apply heat to the whole joint. As soon as the flux begins to bubble, remove the heat source and touch the solder at several points around the ends of the joint. Capillary action will draw the solder in between the pipe and the joint. Apply enough solder so that you see a complete ring of it around the mouth of the fitting. Allow the joint to cool
