Solder/Flux Combination

swif®  95
Made in the USA Made in the USA

A 95/5 tin-antimony alloy solder combined with flux in a non-petrolatum based paste form for easy one-step, brush-on application. Fluxes, tins and solders in one operation. One pound does the work of 3 to 4 pounds of wire solder plus flux. Has identical melting point and plastic range as 95/5 wire, stick or bar solder including the same physical characteristics after soldering (Solidus, 450º F, liquidus 464 F, plastic (pasty) range, 14 F). Saves user application and prep time and eliminates wasted solder; no excess solder to drip if properly applied. Withstands working pressure 2.5 to 3 times greater than 50/50 tin-lead solder up to 250º F. Shear strength is 40% higher than 50/50. Contains no lead-recommended for soldering potable water lines. Recommended for food piping and processing where expansion and vibration may be encountered. Flux component is water-soluble. Includes free full-size metal handle horsehair brush with each container. Can also be used as an extremely effective tinning flux. No backup solder required for pipe under 1 1/2 inches. On larger sizes, backup can be done with any non-lead soft solder. UPC listed. Meets Spec. CID. A-A51145. Conforms to ASTM B-486.

Flux

climate smooth 
soldering paste
Made in the USA Made in the USA
 
Smooth, superior quality petrolatum based flux, especially formulated for use in extreme climate temperatures all year long. Unlike some paste fluxes which become semi-liquid when stored at high temperatures, and stiff at low temperatures, climate smooth will NOT lose its consistency. For use with all soft solders-including new, higher melting alloys. For sweat soldering most common metals except aluminum. Self-cleaning; lead-free formula. Chemically removes oxides on contact and prevents oxidation during heating. Meets Commercial Item Description A-A-51145 (supersedes Fed. Spec. O-F-506).

jel-flux® 
Made in the USA Made in the USA

Non-petrolatum gel type soldering flux meets ASTM B-813 for water flushable fluxes. Cleans, fluxes, retards oxide formation while heating, and enhancing solder flow. Is lead-free, self-cleaning, and flows easily to provide quick, complete coverage - yet is specially formulated to avoid drips and runs during application. Use with soft solder, 95/5, and other lead free solders. Penetrates through oil film. For use on most common metals except aluminum and stainless steels. Meets Commercial Item Description A-A-51145 (supersedes Fed. Spec. O-F-506).
