www.nibco.com AHEAD OF THE FLOW ® Copper Tube Fittings TYPES OF JOINTS Flared Joint — The principle of the flared joint was first developed for copper tube plumbing in 1928 by NIBCO. The flared type joint is wholly a mechanical means of joining copper tubes. The tube nut is placed over the end of the copper tube to be joined; the tube end then is flared out at an approximate 45 degree angle by a flaring tool.

www.nibco.com WHAT MAKES A PLUMBING SYSTEM FAIL? Failure in a copper plumbing system is rare, but may occur due to a variety of reasons. The most common causes of failure are: ABBREVIATED EMF SERIES (Electromotive-Force Series; Common Piping Materials in Sea Water) CATHODE (+) Passive 1. Excessive fluid velocity causes erosion-corrosion or impingement (to strike or hit against) attack in the tube and/or fitting.

www.nibco.com AHEAD OF THE FLOW ® Copper Fittings Dimensional Data The mechanics of making both the solder joint and the brazing joint are comparatively similar. Complete instructions on proper techniques of both of these joining methods are outlined in this catalog on pages 46-48. A very important consideration in Copper Piping is the selection of the proper bonding medium. As a general rule, the working temperature of the installation is a more important consideration than the working pressures.

www.nibco.com AHEAD OF THE FLOW ® EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION In the majority of low-pressure heating systems employing copper tube and installed in small houses or private dwellings, provision for expansion and contraction is relatively simple. Mains, risers, and branches to radiators should be free or floating at one end of the line.

www.nibco.com The Fine Art of Soldering When adjoining surfaces of copper and copper alloys meet under proper conditions of cleanliness and temperature, solder will make a perfect adhesion. The strength of joint is equal to or even greater than the strength of tube alone. Surface tension seals the joint. Capillary attraction draws solder into, around, and all about the joint. It’s easy to learn to make a perfect solder joint when you use NIBCO® Fittings.

www.nibco.com AHEAD OF THE FLOW ® The Fine Art of Brazing Best results will be obtained by a skilled operator employing the step-by-step brazing technique that follows: 1. The tube should be cut to desired length with a square cut, preferably in a square-end sawing vise. The cutting wheel of the type specifically designed for cutting copper tube will also do a satisfactory job.
PAGE 48
www.nibco.com 7. Brazing is started by applying heat to the parts to be joined. The preferred method is by the oxyacetylene flame. Propane and other gases are sometimes used on smaller sizes. A slightly reducing flame should be used, with a slight feather on the inner blue cone; the outer portion of the flame, pale green. Heat the tube first, beginning at about one inch from the edge of the fitting. Sweep the flames around the tube in short strokes up and down at right angles to the run of the tube.

www.nibco.com AHEAD OF THE FLOW ® Frequently Asked Questions Q: A: What is the pressure rating of a given fitting? Fittings are rated per Table 1 of ASME B16.22. The system rated pressure shall be the lowest of the fitting, tube or joint. Q: A: When copper fails in a system, what is the problem? MOST COMMON: 1. Velocity – fluid is moving too fast. Recommendation: 2-3 fps (0.0508-0.0762 m/s) hot water 140°F, 5-8 fps (0.1270.2032 m/s) cold water. 2.
