I believe the "leak issues" he speaks of are the ones occurring with increasing frequency due to an enlarged prostate. ERS

Stormy you are a classic case of a waste of bandwidth. You never say anything useful because you're a complete dumb ass with no defense.

Man, You're quoting regs from 10 years ago ! You guys sure have some strange regulations down there.... Also, where would the acidity be coming from if you are using a non-Acid flux ? The chemical properties of 95% tin and 5% Zinc SOLDER is 'completely' different than the zinc coating say,.. on the inside/ outside of a pipe ! Companies here have been installing 60 gallon water tanks (1000's of them yearly) the same way with no issues. I can't understand why anyone would use "Copper Phos" (is that what you meant ?) or any stick for that matter on a simple copper to copper connection, and especially a tiny 1/8th connector in a refrigeration scenario.
The only reaon anyone wouldn't use the "Far less expensive 95/5" is because they don't have the skills to keep the pipe and connectors at a constant temperature which is far LOWER than stick or silphos. The application in question just does NOT warrant Stick (silver bearing solder maybe...) but Copper PHosphate and High temp stick ?...... Overkill.

Yeah, following manufacture's installation instructions is "Overkill".

It is really irritating to have units that were brazed to code with
15-Silver phos 20 to 30 years ago and not one damned call to top them off. Christ, a Guy could starve to death doing it right. I wonder if maybe we could borrow a few $thousand from the guys that get call back after call back due to shitty work practices. Next, some hack will pop up and try to sell us on superglue, because you can save on using nitrogen. ** Posted from

Yes, been using Sta Brite 8 (I think it's spelled) for several years. Works fine on new copper. But old copper works better with stick braze.

I can not say yes or no but if that is the case it is because StayBright cost much more then 95/5 but not for any other reason. As me I always use Sill-fos

I think you may need a double dose of STAY /BRITE on a daily basis for several more years!
