Solder stainless?

I want to solder a brass plumbing fitting to a stainless steel basin. Possible? What is the proper solder & flux to use? Soft solder (even the lead-free stuff) will stick if you use an appropriate acid flux (look for 'Stainless Steel' flux); same flux works for brass and for stainless, it IS corrosive, don't get it on skin. Silver solder is (just barely) possible, but risks melting the brass. Usually, a brass fitting just rests in some plumber's putty or adhesive sealant. Why do you want solder? |
