Phos 5 brazing alloy is an essential, cost-effective choice for your general-purpose applications, especially in environments where extreme pressure and high vibration are not factors.
This reliable copper-phosphorus alloy is widely trusted in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industries for seamlessly joining copper to copper joints due to the combination of good ductility and fluidity.
- Ideal for: Routine maintenance, essential copper pipe repairs, and dependable non-critical HVAC installations.
- The phosphorus in this alloy provides "self-fluxing" properties when joining copper to copper, meaning no additional flux is needed.
