Sweat Fitting Installation
Part #’s: 316, 317, 582, 5826, 629, 630, 631, 635
READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY PRIOR TO INSTALL
1. Shut off water supply. Pipes must be dry for this process.
Confidence from start to finish.

2. Check tubing for dents, bends, putty or burrs and make sure it is cut square. Also stub
should only come out of wall no more than 1.5 inches, to allow for a half inch penetration
into the valve tube. Fix/cut accordingly.
3. Clean the end of the pipe that is being soldered with plumber’s abrasive cloth or similar,
removing loose particles. Also clean the inside of the tube of the supply valve with a metal
brush. Can use emery cloth, steel wool, etc.
4. Slide the escutcheon on the valve tube with the small end facing the valve (shown in
Images 11 & 12). Apply a light amount of ux (soldering paste) to clean end of pipe with a
small brush. Also put ux on inside of the cleaned valve tube.
5. Attach the supply valve tube to the end of the water supply pipe for a minimum ½” and
wipe off excess ux. Use a propane torch to heat the area where the pipes join uniformly. Do
not apply heat directly to the ux and do not overheat the copper (will become discolored).
6. To tell if copper is hot enough, touch the solder to the pipe. If the solder begins to run
into joint, the pipe is at soldering temperature. Apply a little bit of solder to pipe where it
joins the tting (solder should be applied on the opposite side of the ame). Solder should
ow easily into the tting. Keep soldering until solder appears completely around the
circumference of the tting. Do not apply excess amounts of solder; more is not necessarily
better in this case.
7. After solder joint is completed, wipe away excess solder with a towel/rag and allow tting
to cool thoroughly.
