Hi,
I have a job which requires several 'T' joints for 1/8" copper pipe and they need to be fairly small and compact. Some K&S copper tube with a 1/8" ID was used.
First some of the pipe was cut to 15-mm and another piece to 6-mm.
The shorter length of pipe had a radius file on one of its ends.
The two pipes were held together on the brazing hearth.
And hard soldered together.
The pipe was drilled through with a drill slightly smaller than the ID of the tubes.
Cleaned up they look like this.
High temperature soft solder will be used to solder the pipes into the joints.
Regards Tony.
