1.05 lb 95/5 Solder Wire for Plumbing
This 1.05 lb spool of 95/5 solder wire is intended for plumbing joints. The alloy contains 95 percent tin and 5 percent antimony and meets NSF listing requirements. It is sold new as a solid wire on a spool and requires separate flux during use.
Melting Range 450 to 464 °F and 19 Gauge Diameter
The wire melts between 450 and 464 degrees Fahrenheit and measures .117 inch in diameter at 19 gauge. This melting range and thickness determine whether the solder suits the specific copper pipe size and heating method on the job.
Straightforward Spool Feed with Flux Needed
The spool feeds wire directly to the joint without special tooling. The main issue installers encounter is forgetting to apply flux, which the specification explicitly states is required for proper wetting and adhesion.
