Why Use Stay-Clean® Paste Soldering Flux?
Proper flux application is an important part of producing a dependable soldered joint. Harris Stay-Clean® Paste Flux helps control surface oxides as the connection is heated so compatible solder can properly wet and flow across prepared joint surfaces.
The paste consistency makes this formulation especially convenient for copper tube and fitting connections because the flux can be placed directly on the prepared joint surfaces before assembly and heating.
Application Guidelines
- Cut and properly prepare the components to be joined.
- Clean mating surfaces to remove oxidation, dirt, oil, and other contamination.
- Apply an appropriate amount of Harris Stay-Clean® Paste Flux to the joint surfaces.
- Assemble the connection completely.
- Heat the joint uniformly using appropriate soldering equipment.
- Apply compatible solder when the joint reaches proper soldering temperature.
- Avoid unnecessary overheating of the flux and joint.
- Allow the completed joint to cool appropriately and remove remaining flux residue as directed by Harris.
