Dang Roger, you burnt up that fitting. It also helps to move the torch around the fitting so youre not concentrating all that heat in one spot.

You’ve burnt a lot of that Flux and that’s a recall just waiting to happen.<br><br>As far as soldering vs ProPress it’s hard to choose one over the other. I use both based on the circumstance.

I'd love for you to cut your pipe to see if you had excess solder inside causing turbulence in the line which causes pinhole leaks. I work in a place that uses both and the pinholes are vastly more common by solder joints.

Holy cow! Is this his first time soldering? He really torched the living daylights out of that coupler. I only have an okay amount of experience with soldering copper and even I know better. Roger, if your goal is to make a case for still using solder, make sure you do it perfectly on camera next time. Otherwise great video! Keep up the good work Roger!

Theres times the press tool wont fit in a spot you're working in and you have to solder, not being allowed to solder is ridiculous. Also thought we were brazing that joint for a second haha

I had a boss that would inspect all my apprentice solder joints just to make sure he couldn't hang his hat on it. Taught me real quick how to make clean and proper joints. Left the trade way before press fit cam about but still love to learn the trade.

I left the trade due to health issues but I've only soldered copper from 1/2 to 2 inch. Mostly pool plumbing. I enjoyed some days you were soldering and some days you were gluing PVC. The variety was always welcomed

The last company i worked for before retiring would only use the pro press on 1 1/2 and larger pipe. I started plumbing in 1970, and i still remember my first solder joint.

That was way too hot. I'm surprised that solder took at all, must be some good flux.

I think there is a time and place for both sweating fittings and pressing fittings
