Went to sweat my new valve in and the darn torch head I got for $20 was way too hot. You can see what it did to the wood. You can see the soot that started to get into everything. This is by far the worst sweat job I have every done. I started a the bottom and worked my way up through the 2 elbows and coupling. I put plenty of solder in and it looked liked it wicked up, it got real hot real fast so have to keep moving. Best I can see is solder is in all the joints and the excess dripped out.
Any suggestion on a decent torch head that has decent adjustment to flame, this thing is a mess. I am hoping using tinning flux makes up for any issues this mess is.
