The silver solder I am talking about is sold in HVAC stores. Not
particularly high melting point, but FAR stronger than ANY plumbing solder. Make sure
you use the right flux. That's what I used, and my system is plumbed with 7/8"
refrigeration tubing and fittings. Light, easy to run, flexible, perfect. And
given that the head pressure on a heat pump can hit 300 PSI, I am not
worried about anything coming apart.
This is absolutely correct and a MAPP Gas torch will do the job on 3/4'
copper pipe which is
as big as most of us will ever need
