Value Collection 486705050.125-1 Solid Wire Solder Alloy

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 486705050.125-1 is a solid wire solder supplied in an alloy formulation, packaged as a 1-pound spool in 11 gauge wire diameter. Solid wire solder is used to join metal components through a melting and bonding process, providing reliable electrical or mechanical connections depending on the application. This type of solder is a standard consumable for licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers who require a consistent, flux-free wire solder for hand-soldering tasks on copper, brass, and compatible metal assemblies.

Solid wire alloy solder is suited for both residential and light commercial applications where a clean, controlled solder joint is needed. Common use cases include copper pipe joining, electrical connection work, and HVAC sheet metal or component soldering tasks. The 1-pound package weight makes it practical for bench work or field service use. This solder is applied using a soldering iron, soldering gun, or torch depending on the alloy melting point and the material being joined.

Key Features

• Solid wire form provides consistent feed and joint quality without integrated flux
• Alloy material composition suitable for copper, brass, and compatible metal substrates
• 11 gauge wire diameter for moderate-volume solder application
• 1-pound package weight supports extended field or bench use
• Single-unit packaging for flexible ordering and inventory management

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid wire solder for use in electrical, plumbing, and HVAC soldering applications where an alloy solder without integrated flux is specified.

Installation Notes

Solid wire solder should be applied by a qualified tradesperson using appropriate heat source equipment such as a soldering iron or torch rated for the alloy melting range. Always ensure the work area is properly ventilated, as solder fumes can be hazardous. De-energize all electrical circuits before soldering any electrical connections, and shut off water supply and drain lines before soldering copper pipe joints. Follow applicable NEC or IPC guidelines for the specific trade application.
