BTW, I intended to point out to the "close up the gap" faction that when
the fitting is heated, it will expand as does the pipe so the
differential expansion is essentially the same between the two mating
pieces--ergo, the gap doesn't actually close.

Right - but if the pipe is heated, and the fitting not heated (or heated
less
than the pipe), then the gap *will* close (or at least shrink), and then
expand as the joint cools. That's not good.

Never mind the "yeah, but's" and the "what if's".

You can not make a good joint unless BOTH the pipe and the fitting are hot
enough to melt the solder. If either of them is not at least that hot, you
will
not obtain a good joint. PERIOD!

Nobody here ever contended otherwise. What's got your panties in a wad?

Read your own posts, dumbass.


Maybe you need to read them. You obviously missed something.


Are you for real?


Bye-bye.
