Copper Tubing fittings are fabricated in one of two ways, by cast forging or wrought by machine. Wrought fittings heat more rapidly, have no rough surfaces and eliminate the danger of leakage from sand holes or poor castings. They are stronger and more rugged than the tube with which they are used; present a neat appearance, yet cost no more than their cast counterparts.
Copper Fittings are usually soldered in a process known as 'sweating'. After applying flux, solder is introduced at the edge of the fitting. It is drawn into the full depth of the fitting by capillary action, to completely surround the tube. The result is a strong, leak-proof, bonded joint. The fitting is normally heated with a propane torch.
