RB 5246 brazing rods
Self-fluxing brazing alloy for the brazing of copper. Plumbing, gas and heating installations.
RB 5246 is a copper-phosphorus brazing alloy in bare rod form, for capillary joining of copper and copper alloy parts. It is designed to deliver low-cost, watertight joints and is particularly for mass production applications. When joining copper to copper with this product, a separate flux is not required.
Product form: Copper-coloured bare rod.
Product form: Copper-coloured bare rod.
