	Can I use soft solder on copper pipe carrying glyco at a temperature of minus 10c up to 50c or must the pipe be brazed

	For best results, braze it. Especially if it is in a production environment. __________________ If you don't have time to do it right the first time, when are you going to have time to do it over?

	What solder are you proposing to use? Are you dealing with a socket or butt joint? What are your pipe diameters? Are you joining copper to copper? Production (mass production), small quantities or custom one off assemblies? The more information we have, the better answer we can give. __________________ Speak softly and carry a big stick.

	it seems that glycol and lead/tin solder can have corrosive interactions. http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=corrosion+%2Bcopper+%2Bglycol&btnG=Google+Search&meta= __________________ Per Ardua Ad Astra
