can you solder chrome pipe to copper
what can you do to solder 15mm chrome pipe to copper fittings? will
heating the filed copper blister the chrome?
Use a compressor joint
You will need to file off the area of chrome before it can be
soldered. Soldering flux will not take to chrome, and even stainless steel
needs a special flux.
just treat it as if it were copper, job done no problem.
just get 15mm compression fittings
I used to be able to get a special flux for that, and I think
it contained a mild acid. I used it with 50/50 solder. I was able to
solder copper directly to chrome w/o removing the chrome.
I needed it so rarely that I don't remember the name (white can w/ black &
green label). Perhaps a search will turn it up. The flux cleaned off and
there wasn't any blistering. Maybe the chrome would blue a little, but not much.
You could use a product called MILLIPUT. Lots of plumbers in
the UK use it. It seals as well as soldering, without all the bother!! :)
try silver solder.propane not hot enough.Map gas or acy.& oxy
File the chrome off the area you're going to solder should do
it. But if what is chromed is other than brass, copper or alike it will
corrode over time.
That depends on how hot you get it, you could try in some way shielding
the chrome maybe by wrapping a wet cloth around it, but yes it could
blister.
