Thanks a lot! Your instructions helped me out of a jam - heat the pipe, then the coupling, and keep checking to see if the solder will melt. Finally got good solder flow with this tip! Great video!

Mr. Home Repair Tutor, I find your videos are very helpful in doing DIY around the house. My question for you is, sorry it don't have anything to do with soldering pipes. I'm pretty decent with that, but I am looking to waterproof my garage wall that have a L shape wall. That's under ground on one side, if it rains heavy some water will seep to sink in. I looked up on YouTube and found that you did the same thing to a basement wall of a house, it been about 3 years since you put that video out. How well did that work out for you? Using drylock.

When you put the solder to front of coupling why not go around a bit to make sure coupling got fully soldered?
-
Missed backing brace to screw valve to? Need hole for the rear protrusion?
-
I think it's better to let it cool first before removing excess flux / cleaning the joint?

Thank you! I can't wait to show this to my husband! He can weld but is afraid of soldering water pipes because well...what if it leaks? He seems sure that he won't be able to do it. We have a downstairs bathroom project that we've talked about doing for years but he's afraid to start it. Is horizontal soldering the same as vertical as far as the steps involved? You make it look soooo easy. Thanks again! 💕

I always start from the top.

Great instructions.
-
If using KBRS shower slope system but WEDI backer board, do I need to purchase the WEDI tube sealant or will the ones that come with the KBRS kit work? Thanks!

Hi, what torch brand are you using?
-
How does it melt get on the wall side? Newbie here yeah

So I’m trying to solder a vertical piece in the wall I’m only able to get the front will the solder make its wake to the back on its own.

Did you miss the back of the pipe or did I forget something?
