Anyone knows the pros and cons of solderless copper bonding? Joining two copper pipes by glue-like cold weld
Well Im a Plumber 20yrs to long. LOL And I would not nor will I use the product. There are alot of other ways to put copper together without solder. Pex Pipe, Crimp, and so On. 1 Big problem with the glue is you need the perfect pipe to do it I mean by being VERY CLEAN. You have to to clean with solder also but there is self cleaning flux also. I could go on and on here but I wont. The glue industries have taken leaps and bounds But for now I will stick with what I know will work and last. If I hade to use this product I would use it on something thats not under pressure Like a TP Valve on a HWT or a consindation line or something like that Goodluck

The first thing to understand is that this is not a glue. There is an anaerobic chemical reaction between the two metals. This creates a very strong bond that is more consistent than Soldering joints in many cases. In addition you can get up to 200 uses out of a single bottle for about 1/3 the cost of silver solder. In addition you can join pipes together in tight places or in historic buildings, hospitals, schools and court houses and there is no need for a fire permit. Just For Copper if use properly is very reliable and efficient. Again, This is not a glue or epoxy. It is a solder-less bonding agent.
