OATEY 50194 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can OATEY 50194 60/40 rosin core solder be used on potable water lines?
No. The 50194 solder contains lead and is not for use on drinking water lines. For any potable water copper joint you need a lead-free solder instead. Use this one only on non-potable work such as electrical, sheet metal, or drain and waste applications where lead solder is permitted.
2) Is there anywhere OATEY 50194 solder cannot be shipped or used?
Yes. The 60/40 leaded rosin core solder cannot be sold or used in Indiana or Pennsylvania. If your job is in either state, specify a lead-free solder.
3) What is the difference between 60/40 and 40/60 solder?
The 60/40 alloy is 60 percent tin and 40 percent lead, melting at 361 to 375 F. The 40/60 alloy is 40 percent tin and 60 percent lead and has a much wider melting range, 361 to 460 F. OATEY 50194 is the 60/40 version, so it sets up fast with a short pasty range; the 40/60 stays workable longer over a wider temperature band.
4) Do I need separate flux with OATEY 50194 rosin core solder?
The rosin flux is already inside the solder wire, which is why it is called rosin core. That covers electrical and light sheet metal work. For plumbing-type copper joints on non-potable lines you will still want a separate paste flux brushed on the pipe and fitting, since core flux alone does not clean a tube and socket joint well.
