Sweating copper pipe is a process of joining copper pipes together using solder and a heat source. It is a common method for creating strong and durable joints in plumbing and refrigeration systems.
The process of sweating copper pipe is relatively simple, but it does require some practice to get it right. First, the copper pipes must be cleaned and fluxed. Flux is a chemical that helps the solder to flow and bond with the copper. Once the pipes are clean and fluxed, they can be joined together and heated with a torch. The solder will melt and flow into the joint, creating a strong and permanent bond.
