Read a million threads. I also used to be a journeyman HVAC installer and I can sweat copper to copper blindfolded. No problem!
This stainless is whooping my tail. I'm pretty discouraged here.
I got Harris Stay Clean flux and 15% silver lead free brazing rods.
I am cleaning the shit out of the copper and stainless and scuffing the surfaces of both pieces with Emory cloth. I am making sure to not touch the surface with my fingers and I am using ample flux. I got one flange soldered on to the copper, but it aint pretty and it has a painfully slow leak. I can fill the 2" pipe with water and it'll drop about 1/16" after several minutes.
