Best Answer

Yes, natural gas can corrode solder on copper pipes over time. This is due to the sulfur compounds present in natural gas that can react with the copper and cause deterioration of the solder joint. It is essential to use approved materials and proper installation techniques when working with natural gas lines to prevent corrosion issues.

How do you join copper pipe to steel pipe?

Depending if you are talking about stainless steel or galvanised steel. Either way, you need to use copper compression fittings, otherwise known as conex fittings in some countries. Also, you need to be aware of galvanic corrosion if you are connecting copper pipes to galvanized steel pipes. The joint will rot away from the electrolytic action in a few years unless you use a dielectric union or other insulating separation.

Why does my roll of solder have a date of expiration on it?

Solder has an expiration date because of the flux content. It does not go bad-per say, but the flux will dissipate out of the solder after a while. It's still useable, but the flux content may be slightly diminished. Also, over time the solder oxidizes. For home or hobby use, it's fine. But in a manufacturing atmosphere, you need to be prepared to throw some away every year.


Is it safe to solder inside?

It is generally safe to solder inside as long as you work in a well-ventilated area to prevent inhaling fumes. It's important to wear safety gear such as gloves and eye protection to protect yourself while soldering. Additionally, be cautious of flammable materials nearby and use a heat-resistant surface to work on.


Why red ink on copper pipes?

Copper pipes are marked with red or blue lines sometimes to show that they are type L or type M (type L is bendable, type M is rigid and has thinner walls). Some plumbers I have seen use red paint markers for marking cuts, others use pencils or other colors of paint markers, and I've even seen china pencils used. The paint markers I've seen are similar to the ones machinists use, they tend not to wash or wipe away easily.
