Oatey 1 50/50 Solder Wire Solder 1 Lb Tin-lead Alloy

Product Description

The OATEY 1# 50/50 solder is a tin-lead alloy wire solder designed for professional plumbing, sheet metal, and light mechanical applications. It delivers reliable bonding across a melting range of 361 degrees F to 421 degrees F, making it suitable for work requiring controlled heat application. Weighing 1 pound, the spool provides sufficient material for multiple joints in a single service call. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and sheet metal workers rely on this solder for consistent, repeatable results in both new installation and repair work.

This wire solder is commonly used for copper DWV (drain, waste, and vent) systems, tin plating, seaming joints, and sheet metal repair. It performs well in residential and light commercial settings where tin-lead alloy solder is code-permitted. Because it contains lead, it is not approved for potable water supply lines under current plumbing codes. Verify local code compliance before use in any water system application.

Key Features

• 50/50 tin-lead alloy formulation for consistent flow and bonding
• Melting range of 361 degrees F to 421 degrees F allows controlled application
• 1 lb wire spool format for easy feeding and job-site portability
• Suitable for copper DWV systems, tin plating, seaming joints, and sheet metal repair
• Made in the United States

Compatibility

Designed for use on copper DWV systems, tin plating, seaming joints, and sheet metal repair applications where tin-lead alloy solder is permitted by applicable codes.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or sheet metal workers using a propane or MAP-gas torch and appropriate flux. Shut off and drain any affected system before soldering. Work in a well-ventilated area and follow all applicable safety guidelines for lead-containing materials. Consult local plumbing codes, including IPC and applicable state amendments, to confirm this solder is approved for the intended application.
