Default Does coating stranded copper wire with solder cause any issues or break any codes?

The question I asked was for a single tinned stranded wire in a pressure
connection.



Stranded wire in a pressure connection cannot be soldered.


I am not doubting you, but can you give a reference for that?
(I always crimp fitting on stranded, but was unaware of this prohibition...)


A gas tight crimped fitting doesn't need solder, or pass standards
with solder added either.

My standard is likely a mil standard, though I would think it is in
the NEC as well.
