copper tubbing
Can I use silver solder for joints on soft copper for natural gas?
I was told I had to use flare fitting connections. Do I have to worry about the solder breaking down with natural gas? Thanks, Dan Last edited by dzimmerle; 01-22-2011 at 05:23 PM. |

copper tubbing
If you are only soldering copper fittings and copper tubing -not tubbing- together then you can use plumbers lead free solder or silver solder as you choose. If you are thinking of replacing the flare fittings on appliances or valves with soldered fittings, in a word forget it. The flare fittings are there for a reason.
