hello,
Recently, a friend of mine had an acquaintance fit a new radiator with about 6 metres of pipe and 12 soldered elbows. I had noticed that the person fitting it was scooping way.. WAY!!! too much flux on the pipes.
Later, I was asked to fix his cockups..
I noticed globules of flux on the outside surfaces which I cleaned off.
He didn't do a very good job fitting the pipes either, and ended up cutting and fitting new sections on pipe.
The main problem is, when I cut the pipe to re-fit an elbow, I noticed the pollock had used so much flux, there were green trail marks inside the pipe, running abour 3 or 4 inches down.
bearing in mind he fitted 12 elbows..
I've added Fernox F3 to the system and planniong on keeping it in for the week.
Should I flush out in a week and add second dose of F3.?
Any comments would be helpful in correcting the good hearted eeejot doing "a favour"
