Harris 0® Phos-Copper Brazing Rod – 0% Silver Flat Brazing Alloy (1 Pcs)

• • Key Features:

    • Self-Fluxing on Copper: The phosphorus content creates a metallurgical bond without external flux, simplifying repairs on standard copper pipes.

  • Rapid Flow Characteristics: Designed to flow extremely fast into tight-fitting joints with clearances of less than 0.005″ (0.13mm).

  • USA Quality Standards: Every rod is manufactured to exacting chemical standards, ensuring consistent melting behavior from the first stick to the last.

  • Cost-Efficient Performance: Provides a high-strength bond at a fraction of the cost of silver-bearing alloys, making it ideal for residential AC maintenance.

  • Non-Corrosive Purity: Complies with EU REACH & RoHS directives, ensuring it is free from lead and other hazardous contaminants.

  • Applications:

    • Residential Air Conditioning and Heat Pump Installations.

    • Domestic Copper Plumbing and Hot Water Systems.

    • Refrigeration Return Bends and Heat Exchanger Manifolds.

    • Suitable for joining Copper to Brass (Requires Stay-Silv® White Flux).

    For Everyday Economy: Use the Harris 0 (0620F1J). It is highly cost-effective for standard copper plumbing and tight-fitting HVAC lines where vibration isn’t a major concern.

  • For Versatility: The Stay-Silv 5 is a great “middle ground.” It flows well into tight spots if heated quickly but can fill a gap if heated slowly, making it useful for general repair work.

  • For Critical/High-Pressure Systems: The Stay-Silv 15 is the top choice for compressor discharge lines and areas subject to significant vibration. Its high silver content makes the joint more “stretchy” (ductile), which helps prevent leaks over time.

Pro-Tip: All of these phos-copper rods are self-fluxing when joining copper to copper.  ^{However, if you are joining copper to brass, you must use a separate flux like Stay-Silv White Brazing Flux to ensure a strong bond}

Logistics & Shipping

• • • Single rod Packaging: 1 Pcs (0.016kg)

      Standard Packaging: 28 Sticks per Tube (1 lb / 0.45kg tube).

      Bulk Option: 25 lb Box (Available for large projects).

    • Storage: Keep in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation.

    • Safety Warning: Use in well-ventilated areas. Elins Nigeria advises wearing proper eye protection (shade 5) to protect against infrared radiation from the brazing flame

Safety Note: This rod is not suitable for brazing steel or other ferrous metals as the phosphorus will create a brittle joint.

Elins Nigeria Technical Advice: If you are brazing a copper pipe to a brass valve, you must use Stay-Silv® White Brazing Flux. ^{for better ductility.}
