heatless copper pipe fixing.

I saw some stuff in B&Q that was the equivalent of solvent weld in waste pipe. It was a bottle of copper coloured liquid that you used to glue copper pipe into copper fittings with. Can't remember its name but does it have a use? Under floorboards where there's a fire risk? Does anyone keep it in their kit?

Never heard of it... Not sure i'd trust it tbh.

Has been advertised in back of plumbing magazine for a while no idea if it works though

 

[Gasguru]

Don't even think of using it...been tested by others and it was carp

I was one who was sent a sample and tried it in our workshop on a section of pipe to sink unit, It failed.

Also remember that copper pipe is bonded to an earth conductor to ensure equal earth potential. This stuff effectively creates pipework with insulated couplings!!
