Upgrade your plumbing and repair projects with the Handy and Harman 95/5 Lead-Free Solder. Designed for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and professional welders alike, this solder wire provides a safe and durable solution for joining copper pipes and fittings. The "95/5" designation refers to its composition of 95% Tin and 5% Antimony, a blend known for creating joints that are significantly stronger than those made with standard solders. This added strength makes it an excellent choice for household plumbing where pressure and temperature fluctuations can occur.
Safety is the top priority when working on water lines in your home. This solder is completely lead-free and meets strict NSF/ANSI 372 standards, meaning it is certified safe for use on pipes that carry drinking water. Whether you are installing a new water heater, repairing a kitchen sink supply line, or running new copper piping for a bathroom renovation, you can trust this solder to create a clean, non-toxic seal that protects your family's health.
This product comes as a solid wire with a diameter of 0.118 inches (3.2mm), which is a convenient size for feeding into joints without melting away too quickly. Because it is a solid wire, it does not contain a flux core. This means you will need to apply a separate flux paste to your pipe and fitting before heating. Using external flux actually helps you get a better bond, as you can ensure the entire joint area is properly cleaned and prepped before the solder flows. We recommend using a quality water-soluble plumbing flux for copper applications to ensure smooth flow and a leak-free finish.
Sold in a convenient 1 lb spool, this roll offers plenty of material for multiple projects around the house or shop. The narrow melting range of the tin-antimony alloy means the solder sets quickly, reducing the chance of drips or disturbed joints as they cool. It leaves a professional silver-gray finish that looks great and holds up over time. Choose Handy and Harman 95/5 solder for a bond you can rely on.
