Value Collection 21574 Lead-free Silver Solder 1/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 21574 is a lead-free silver solder designed for joining metals in plumbing, HVAC, and general trade applications. Lead-free formulations are required by code in potable water systems and are widely used wherever a non-toxic, reliable bond is needed. This solder is supplied in a 1/8-inch diameter form factor, making it compatible with standard soldering tools and torches used by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians. Its silver material composition supports strong, durable joints suitable for copper pipe and fitting connections in residential and light commercial work.

This solder is suited for use in plumbing installations involving potable water lines, HVAC refrigerant piping, and general copper-to-copper or copper-to-brass joining tasks. Lead-free silver solder meets the requirements of codes mandating non-lead materials in drinking water applications. It is a practical choice for service technicians and installers working on both new construction and retrofit projects where code compliance is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IFGC where relevant. Shut off the water supply and fully drain the pipe section before soldering to ensure a dry joint and proper bonding. Use appropriate flux and a calibrated torch; avoid overheating fittings, which can damage seals or distort components. Allow joints to cool fully before restoring system pressure.
