How to Solder Copper Pipe The CORRECT Way

What is the first step in soldering a copper joint according to the video?

• Choosing the right tools

• Finalizing the joint

• Actual soldering process

• Preparation

What is the cost range of a good torch for soldering copper pipes in Canadian dollars?

• 10 to 30

• 20 to 50

• 30 to 60

• 40 to 70

Which gas burns hotter and heats up the joint quicker?

• Propane gas

• Map gas

• Butane gas

• Natural gas

What is the primary purpose of soldering flux or paste?

• To heat the joint

• To clean the pipe

• To prevent oxidation

• To cool down the joint

Which type of solder is used for potable water lines?

• Lead-solder

• Aluminum solder

• Lead-free solder

• Silver solder

What is the scientific term mentioned that describes the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without assistance?

• Evaporation

• Diffusion

• Osmosis

• Capillary action

Why is it recommended to start heating the joint from the bottom?

• To make the soldering process quicker

• All of the above

• To prevent solder from flowing downwards

• Because heat rises, heating the top of the joint as well

What should you do if the solder doesn't correctly fill the joint?

• Let it cool and try again

• Reapply flux and heat up the joint

• Use a different type of solder

• Discard the joint and start over

What can potentially damage the pipe in the long run if not wiped off after soldering?

• Water

• Heat marks

• Excess flux

• Excess solder

What is the consequence of skipping or half-doing the preparation step in soldering?

• The solder won't melt

• You will use more solder

• The joint will most probably leak

• The process will take longer
