I have made a replacement boiler for a small static engine that belonged to my father . basicly it's a brass tube with 1.5 mm wall . with 2 end caps . will this need silver solder or would normal solder do ? |
| tom osselton:
I have never heard of anyone using normal solder I’d go with the silver solder seeing as your dealing with a pressure vessel. |

Elf and safety have stuck there ore in on boiler making it will have to be silver soldered , https://www.sfmes.co.uk/ydrRoot/committees/boilerSC/Forms/testCode2018_volume2.pdf . |
| speedibee:
I have oredered some silver solder . it will most likey ony ever run once ,I have to know it works then it will be an ornament |

Better an ornament than a dent in the ceiling, or worse, a dent in you ! |
