Few tips, make sure the pipes are super clean, when soldering any fitting start on the easiest joint first as the heat will travel tovthe harder to reach joint, dont over heat, if the flame turns green you have over heated the joint and it will leak ive been a plumber for 45 years and trust me follow these simple rules and you will be an expert in no time
-
I love you showed "how to" and "how not to" and showed what it looks like. You can learn quite a bit by both. Thank you.
-
Love that tip about bending the solder into portions.
-
Someone like me has to watch this over and over before I try it. lol Hello, good teacher, Skill Builder.
-
Rodger is such a great teacher.
-
This guy is very likable and easy to follow. Thanks
-
Honestly seen a lot of soldering videos but for the first time I understand flux .... excellent video
-
This came about just at the right time for me. Replacing an outside tap very soon and the new tap I bought has a Yorkshire fitting. I was going to look up a tutorial because, whilst it seemed obvious how to use it, I'm always keen to sanity check (especially as my soldering experience is all with electrics). You've saved me a search, and also stopped me from unnecessarily buying a specific soldering torch for pipework, as I now realise the gas torch I have will do the job π Cheers. π

Tempted to give this a thumbs up before I've even seen the end as Roger is a great tradesman and I know this will be a great video. Really enjoy the channel mate
-
Roger is an excellent presenter β just the right blend of knowledgeable, skilled, and engaging. As a jeweller, I'm new to this specific kind of soldering, so I feel lucky to have stumbled upon your video before wading through a lot of other inferior content on YouTube β thank you!
-
Just started learning how to solder at college last night! This is the best 'learn how to solder' video I've seen on youtube so far, and I've spent all morning watching them all. Cheers mate, really simple but sound advice and tips you gave out!
-
Thanks Roger this vlog you did in plain english if you get me, simple and well explained great job
-
Clearly explained and demonstrated, good job!
-
What an absolute masterclass. As usual.
-
cheers - this video was very helpful. don't need to call a plumber anymore. sorted it out myself without any issues
-
Thank you for this masterclass. You are a Jedi master of pipework!
-
i like your soldering video. Very clear and helpful and timely. Hoping to join copper tap tails on new Kitchen mixer tap to pipe work on the back wall but the sink is 3 inches proud of the wall because we had deeper worktops fitted. I hate flex hoses on taps, I want to replace it with all copper. First timer here. Thank you.
-
Thank you, very informative. soldered electronics before, just didn't know the flux would flow the solder all the way around for you. Good video.
-
Thanks Roger. My dad taught me to always heat the pipework leading into the joint first and then move towards the fitting, and make sure you run the heat around the circumference of the fitting to ensure even heat.
-
Really interesting, I have a tiny, tiny leak on a push fit joint and I suspect the pipe if just slightly distorted, I think a solder joint might just cap it off. I will give it a go!
