Connecting copper brazing process is based on the capillary attraction of copper pipes, fittings and soft or hard solder for soldering. Copper pipes and fittings for soldering is collected and heated to the desired temperature, the solder is applied to the neck of the fitting for copper pipe and melt. Due to the capillary attraction of the solder is drawn into the gap between the pipe and fitting to form a reliable connection.

Press fittings crimped press systems tools. For different sizes of fittings are appropriate crimping jaws. Thanks to consistently obtain a constant force crimp durable reliable permanent connection pipe and fitting. Technique instant cold press connection speeds up the process of installing copper plumbing pipe 3 times and makes it safer because it requires no heating.
