PS high pressure hose

[Bernie Benz]

Hi Bob,
If you have successfully brazed water pipe you‘re in fat city!
Your  silver/nickel with flux coating should work just fine with your  MAPP/oxy torch set-up.
I normally use aceylene/air for the small stuff, only because I have the torch.

Regards, Bernie

I think I need a hotter paste flux than plain soldering flux. What solder, flux, heat source, etc did you use? I have brazed water pipes, so this process isn't completely new to me. I'm just concerned about using the correct ingredients.

So, I'm on my own....well not really, if it weren't for you I'd be kinda screwed! Suddenly the light went on, I get what you're talking about. I've ordered the parts [$40] and I'll do this myself, dammit.
