solder a boiler

(1/2) > >>

speedibee:
I have made a replacement boiler for a small  static engine that belonged to my father . basicly  it's a brass tube with 1.5 mm wall . with 2 end caps . will this need silver solder or would normal solder do ?

tom osselton:
I have never heard of anyone using normal solder I’d go with the silver solder seeing as your dealing with a pressure vessel.

chipenter:
Elf and safety have stuck there ore in on boiler making it will have to be silver soldered , https://www.sfmes.co.uk/ydrRoot/committees/boilerSC/Forms/testCode2018_volume2.pdf .

speedibee:
I have oredered some silver solder . it will most likey ony ever run once ,I have to know it works then it will be an ornament

awemawson:
Better an ornament than a dent in the ceiling, or worse, a dent in you !
