While walking through the plumbing aisle of home depot this past week I saw an item that I did not notice before - the water hammer arrestors or something similar. These particular ones had open ends of 1/2" which then neck up to 3/4" or so.
Rather than flaring the ends of these I was wondering if I could instead use 1/2 couplings cut down and solder those onto the pan and the part of the 1/2" tube that comes up from the bottom of the pan. It would be ugly and the bottom of the pan would have these cylinders sticking up through them - but it seems like a lot less labor than getting it all flush.
I'll try to get pics posted up soon.
In order to do dissimilar metals, or SS in particular do I need to use silver solder, or can I get away with the common solder used for copper?
