Become a pipe solder savant, or at least learn enough to repair and make new solder connections in your house. In this class you’ll learn how to pick out your materials, types of fittings, types of copper piping, and how to make solder connections you feel secure about. Participants will make a copper square with different sized pipings and fittings to take home.
No experience needed or required, only a willingness to learn and have fun!
Students will use MAP gas torches, pipe deburring tools, pipe cutters, and a propress tool.
What to Bring
You must wear leather shoes with pants and long-sleeves. Jeans are recommended and synthetic materials are strongly discouraged.
