Pipemaster Soldering Tool

The Antex Pipemaster Soldering Tool is designed to complement the torch in the tool kit of the plumbing contractor or home improvement enthusiast. With selectable heads, it can be used on all joints with fittings of 1/2, 3/8, or 3/4 inch. It is invaluable when working in areas where a blowlamp is a possible hazard or where access is limited (i.e. in roof spaces, under baths or basins, close to decoration or furnishings, near vehicles, etc.).
Make no mistake; this is not a crimp tool limited to special fittings. The Pipemaster solders copper pipe in as little as 10 seconds with standard tin solders (not recommended for silver brazing).
To make the most of your Pipemaster, make sure the copper pipe ends, and the inside of the couplings, are cleaned to a bright finish with wire wool. Liberally apply flux to all joint surfaces and position the Pipemaster heads so that a good contact is made all around the circumference of the pipe. Hold the Pipemaster heads about ½ inch from the joint and allow the proper time to heat the joint, and then apply solder.
Maintenance is restricted to regular cleaning after use, ensuring excellent results time after time. After use, always clean off heads with a nylon pad. The heads are removable for cleaning, storage or replacement with a different size. ....read more
