I may need to solder a copper pipe near a wall (DIY repair). It would be in such a place that it’s hard to get to (hence the extension hose, to keep the cylinder upright). Some questions:
- Are those three items compatible?
- About how many joints can one expect to be able to solder with one of those cylinders?
- If I spray water on the surrounding walls, is it pretty much highly unlikely to cause a fire?
- Once the tip is installed onto the propane cylinder, can it be removed, or do I have to keep it on there until I use up the cylinder completely?
- What if I need to repair a black iron pipe? Can a fitting be soldered onto a broken black iron pipe as well?
- Is it possible to solder a brass fitting onto a black iron or copper pipe? How would the process differ from copper-to-copper soldering? I ask because it would be really convenient to repair a long stretch of broken copper pipe by soldering a pex fitting onto the pipe and running pex up the wall.
