Some of my fittings especially the 15mm copper elbow that connects the riser to the condenser I don't really want to solder. I want them to be easily dismantled for cleaning and maintenance.
I was planning to seal these be making 4-5 turns around the copper pipe with teflon tape. Inserting that teflon end of the copper pipe into the elbow fitting. Then making a few turns around the outside of the joint with teflon tape. Then a hose clamp over the top to make a tight seal.
Would this be okay as an alternative to soldering for fittings which I need to be able to dismantle for maintenance?
Is it okay to join some fittings with teflon tape?
