This 50/50 tin-lead alloy wire solder is a traditional choice for non-potable soldering, wetting and flowing easily for clean joints on copper DWV systems, sheet metal repair, seaming, and tin plating. The balanced tin-lead alloy melts at a workable temperature and fills seams and fittings smoothly, making it a shop and field staple for waste, vent, and metalwork. Because it contains lead, it is not for use on drinking-water lines, and it cannot be sold or used in Indiana or Pennsylvania. For the many non-potable joints in DWV and sheet-metal work, it remains an easy-flowing, dependable solder.
Key Features:
- 50/50 Tin-Lead -- Balanced alloy wets and flows easily for clean joints.
