Harris® 0 phos-copper brazing alloy 1/8 x 20 in. x 1 ea. 14-stick tube.
The Harris 0 Phos Copper Brazing Alloy 1/8" 14 Stick Tube - 0620R1 is a phosphor-copper brazing alloy (BCuP-2). Phos-copper alloys are self-fluxing on copper and copper alloys — no separate flux is required when brazing copper to copper. However, flux IS required when brazing copper to brass, bronze, or steel. These alloys are widely used in HVAC/R applications for copper tubing joints.
- Compatible families: Phos-Copper
- Available diameters: 1/8"
Brazing alloys are selected by the base-metal pairing and the joint clearance. Silver content and flux requirements drive both cost and strength of the finished joint.
Harris 0 phos-copper brazing filler metal is a low cost alloy use for many copper-to-copper applications where moderate fit-up can be maintained and brazing temperature is not critical. Complies with the EU Reach & RoHS directive.
- Economical choice for copper brazing
- Copper is self-fluxing, so no manual flux application is required
- Alloy flows quickly at brazing temperature requiring close joint tolerance, less than 0.005 in. (0.13 mm)
- Primarily used in manual brazing applications
- Suitable for brazing brass
- When brazing brass, operators should avoid over heating and use Stay Silv® white brazing flux
- Not recommended for brazing steel or other ferrous base metals
- Corrosion resistance is generally similar to the copper base metal, but phosphorus containing alloys, including Harris® 0, should not be used if the braze is exposed to sulfur or sulfur compounds in service
- Recommended joint clearance of 0.002 in. - 0.005 in. (0.05 mm - 0.13 mm)
- Complies with the EU Reach & RoHS directive
