Hey everyone, replacing all my bathroom including plumbing.
I’ve connected two 10mm copper pipes with a Yorkshire elbow fitting.
This one particular fitting never exposed any silver solder ring like the others, even when more heat was applied (to the point where the flame turned green).
The water is back on and there’s no leaks, but the heating hasn’t come on yet.
Could it have been caused with a drip of water I’ve not noticed?
Or as the fitting was in such an angle, could the solder just have set in there properly and not come out to the ends of the fitting due to it not rising upwards? The elbow is on an angle (almost like a V shape to look at)...
I don’t want to tear it all apart and drain down again if I’m worrying over nothing.
Thanks
