Value Collection 475004060.125-1 Solid Wire Solder Alloy

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 475004060.125-1 is a solid wire solder made from alloy material, designed for joining metal components in plumbing, electrical, and light fabrication applications. Supplied in a 1-pound spool at 11 gauge, this solder delivers consistent feed and melt behavior for hand-soldering tasks. The solid wire construction means there is no flux core, so an appropriate external flux must be applied to the joint surface before heating. Licensed plumbers and electricians keep this format on hand when they need full control over flux type and quantity for the application at hand.

Solid wire alloy solder is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing for sweat-fitting copper pipe joints, and in electrical work for terminal connections where code and project requirements specify a separate flux application. It is also used in light sheet metal, HVAC coil repair staging, and general shop fabrication. The 1-pound spool size is a standard bench-stock quantity for service shops and field kits alike.

Key Features

• Solid wire construction allows independent flux selection for the specific joint material and application
• 11 gauge wire diameter provides a manageable feed rate for hand-soldering work
• 1-pound spool is a practical bench-stock quantity for service techs and shop use
• Alloy material composition supports use across copper, brass, and compatible metal joints
• No flux core eliminates the risk of flux-type mismatch when working with sensitive or mixed metals

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid wire solder for use in plumbing, electrical, and light fabrication applications where a separate, externally applied flux is required.

Installation Notes

Solid wire solder is typically applied by licensed plumbers or electricians depending on the joint type and applicable code. Always shut off and depressurize the line being soldered and allow all fittings to cool completely before handling. An appropriate flux must be applied to clean, deoxidized joint surfaces before heat is introduced. Follow applicable IPC or NEC requirements for solder alloy selection based on the system type and service environment.
