Fernox Flux is a beige ‘soft’ paste which is easily applied to joint areas prior to soldering. It is designed specifically for the soldering of copper plumbing systems, although a range of metals/alloys can be jointed with it. It contains no zinc chloride.

Physical Properties

Colour: Beige

Odour: Mild

Form: Paste

Application and Dosage

Clean the pipe to remove metal swarf/grease. Apply the flux carefully to the outside of the pipe surface in the area in which the joint is to be made. Only a very thin layer of flux is required. We do not recommend applying this to the inside of the fitting because any excess flux will be pushed into the tube when pushing the two halves of the joint together. Do not use too much flux.

This flux can be used effectively with both end feed and integral ring solder fittings. It is also appropriate for lead containing or lead free solders. Fry Powerflow wire or Fry Grade 99C wire are recommended.

To minimise the likelihood of corrosion difficulties it is recommended that the system be flushed out with water as soon as possible after completion. This can be aided by the use of a proprietary cleanser such as Fernox Restorer.
