Help with brazing a fitting or recommending a plumber around Brissy or Ippy

[ozscott]

Hi all. I have to make up a short piece of copper pipe for my coffee machine. I have the new pipe and a basic flare kit and MAP flame gun. I was going to desolder the fitting and have a crack at brazing it onto the new pipe then use fine sand and heat to bend up the new pipe. However I just noticed that the fitting has the pipe running right through and a nice beveled edge on it that meets the angle of the fitting (water flow brew pipe on a 2 group commercial machine).

I haven't got the tool for producing the angled edge.

Can anyone let me know what I would need to get that edge? Also any recommendation on a flux coated silver solder stick that is pottable water safe for the brazing? Alternatively I could get a plumber to do it so any recommendations greatly received.

Could be some kind of double flare.
Personnelly i wouldn't touch the fitting.
Are you trying to lengthen the bit of pipe,looks like 1/4 inch?

If so just braze a piece in the middle to lengthen,you may need to expand it to get a good solder join.

Plumbers generally use 'yellow tip' for copper to copper soldering,no flux needed as long as it is clean.

Or you can use 'brown tip',which is what we use,similar,no flux if pipe is clean.Brown will also do copper to brass,sometimes flux helps in this application.

Looks more like an o-ring groove to me. If it was an actual double flare on the copper the nose of the fitting would spin. As Scarry says, just join it to the bit you need.

Good thinking guys. Thanks

PS. No oring. Straight into a brass fitting and a nut goes over the top and screws the pictured bit up tight. Cutting a brazing in a new bit will do the job. Cheers
