Concerns related to soldering copper tube and the new no-lead copper alloys led the Copper Development Association (CDA) to conduct laboratory research and testing out in the field. The CDA found that, in many cases, those working with the new no-lead copper alloys were using the incorrect soldering procedure.

Aquatherm-to-copper stub-outs come in ½-, ¾-, and 1-inch diameters and range 11-18 inches in length. Installers can easily transition to a fan coil unit, zone valve, heat pump, or other HVAC components with sweated connections using polypropylene-random (PP-R) piping systems.
