Soldering or crimping copper pipes? Which should you choose when installing a water supply system?

We discussed the advantages and disadvantages of these copper pipe connection methods with Andrey Zaitsev, a representative of Viega, which developed the first crimping system in 1995.

Proper soldering of copper pipes requires a certain level of skill and a longer time compared to crimping. The quality of the material used (torch gas, flux, solder, etc.) also plays a significant role in pipe soldering.

It's important to note the negative health effects of flux and solder vapors during copper soldering.

After completing the installation of the water supply system, it's necessary to flush the system to remove any flux or acid from the internal walls of the connections, as these can corrode copper over time if left on the walls.
