## Description

Bernzomatic PC3 Copper-Phosphorous Brazing/Welding Rods, 3-Piece

Review: Works as it should. No surprises. - Bought these for an coil and condenser install after I had been robbed. I was stuck using mapp gas to braze the refrigerant lines in. It melted and flowed well for 3/8 copper tubing. On the 3/4 I had to hunt down an oxy/acetylene torch to get it hot enough (which I pretty much knew would be the case before I started). Its worked perfectly after getting the hotter torch. Held 500 PSI with no problem. No leaks or blowouts.
Review: Works - I use this to braze copper creating jewelry and other objects. Easy to use, once one gets the hang of it. I can file it down and polish and the color, once flame colored or patina, matches the copper quite well. Cannot use with enameling and the melting point is less than enameling temps.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can 1/16 to 3/32 thick copper be brazed with a basic propane torch with these rods?**
A: No, not with propane.  You need something such as the Bernzomatic OX2550KC.  Reason being, propane alone wont get the copper hot enough to "run" (melt and flow to the joint area).  What you will end up doing is just burning off all the flux coating that you will have applied to the rod.  The flux coating is necessary to provide the proper environment while brazing for the copper/phos to form a usable bond with your base material.With the OX25500 you blend Oxygen into your MAPP gas to get it super hot.  This gets the high temps. needed for brazing copper.

**Q: Can i use this to braze together small brass or copper tubing for hobby projects? i plan to use my bernzomatic wk5500ox oxy-mapp torch.**
A: I've only used this with making copper wire jewelry. However, I don't see why it wouldn't work on small copper tubing. Not so sure about the brass, though. I suggest you use in on a practice piece of brass first to see how it reacts to the brass. There might be brass brazing rods out there that you could use.

**Q: Safe for potable water use?**
A: I'm sorry, I just don't know.  I bought it for crafting with copper wire but only used it once.

**Q: Does it color match copper when cooled?**
A: Mostly - it is slightly lighter shade than copper.  It cannot be worked after cooling, however - the surface is copper shaded, but any sanding reveals a silver color.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent brazing joints at a good price.
*by O***2 on June 29, 2017*

I purchased (4) packages of these Copper-Phosphorous Brazing Rods because at the time these were the lowest priced ones I could find. I still find it hard to justify the cost when you see the (3) tiny rods in each package (each package weighs 3 ounces!). Anyway... I used these copper rods mostly for lawn art work : large spinning structures, trellises and such. I bend and form 1/2 inch - 3/4 inch type "L" copper pipe that you would find in any household potable water system. I found the copper rods the easiest and simplest to weld the sections together. The produce an extremely strong bond that when tested for strength did not come apart even when hit with a 2 pound sledge hammer! I use a Mapp gas fuel WORTHINGTON CYLINDER 332585 14.1 oz Pre-Filled MAP-Pro Gas Torch Style Cylinder fitted with a "swirl"-type torch head Bernzomatic TS8000 - High Intensity Trigger Start Torch . The swirl flame produces the highest possible flame temperature which means faster welds and less fuel used. Some suggestions and observations: Copper rods will not work with propane fuel. Propane's temperature when burning can only reach about 1100-1200 degree's Fahrenheit while the acetylene Mapp fuel burns at about 1300-1400 degree's F. Although these rods, as claimed by the manufacturer, can sweat pipes with water inside them DO NOT attempt sweating or heating pipes in this manner! It is a potentially dangerous situation as the heated water rapidly expands to a gas (steam) it can burst the pipe releasing scalding water! I also highly doubt the metal would reach the proper temperature to melt the rod due to the water in the pipe cooling the metal. Clean the surfaces of the to be joined metals with an emery cloth or sand paper. No flux is necessary for the copper rods, but the metal should be clean and shiny. I found it best to slowly heat the joint by not positioning the flame to close. The flame tip's very end should be 2-3 inches above the surface. Don't touch the rod to the joint until you see the metal surface begin to change from bright to dull. If it isn't hot enough the rod will melt and roll off the metal to the ground!. I like this type of "hard welding" or brazing. I've been doing it for awhile and Amazon has the best prices and largest selections. I'd be glad to answer any questions regarding brazing anyone may have.
