  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raEldIPChdA&amp;t=630">10:30</a> Another way to deal with water in the pipe is to take the lid off a kitchen/bathroom spray, put the tube down the pipe as far as possible and use it to spray/suck the water out.

  I&apos;ve just upgraded some 22 to 28, with even a couple of 35mm tees. First time soldering larger pipes, was nervous but got there in the end. Plenty bird poop, snots, 2 leaks - got there in the end! Doing it again I&apos;d flux 1 joint at a time in stead of a few, but otherwise quite happy for a pen pushing DIYer 😊 I learn all my stuff here, thanks for helping us! Oh PS, for very dirty pipes, a bit flux before cleaning will bring it up nicely!

  They say a bad workman blames his tools. I used to believe this until I attempted a batch of soldering on my central heating. I did all the things in this vid by the book and it still leaked: that&apos;s THREE attempts all going wrong and boy was I tearing my hair out(I still had some in those days). Then my wife said &quot;maybe it&apos;s your torch?&quot; &quot;No it can&apos;t be, I&apos;ve had this for years and it&apos;s never let me down!&quot; But after the fourth failure, I was desperate enough to pop round to B&amp;Q and treat myself to a new torch. Instant success. The moral of this is that sometimes it actually isn&apos;t your fault. Check your gear.

  When I&apos;ve needed to get water out of enclosed spaces, I unscrew the top of a soap dispenser (which has a long plastic tube) and pump the water out

  Well after more years than I care to mention avoiding soldering copper pipes, I popped my cherry 😂<br>I bought the Rothenberger soldering kit watched the video a couple of times and pleased with the results <br>It was only reconfiguring my central heating 22mm flow and returns with several joints all of which were dry and looked great <br>So thanks for taking the time to teach us, I&apos;m empowered
