Well it's a bit dark now, but honest it WAS sunny today....a bit....well a LITTLE bit anyway.

Ex.Pat Chris here from Halifax originally and stuck with a small problem! The FRENCH system of joining copper pipe!

I'll post the question on the correct part of the forum though and good to be here!!

Do you know, it's funny you should actually think that. NO is the ONLY answer I can post! Well beside NOT really!

Sorry but the UK seems to be in a terminal self destruct at present? OK France is FAR from perfect, but WTF??

Hi Chris and welcome from the Lot, ex Skipton lad missen.

To join the copper tube over here you silver solder it, rods and flux easily available from the brico's, you will need oxy/acetylene ideally, but at a pinch a map? gas torch will do it,

How about those joints that you can screw on...no need to solder those?
You can find them at brico too!

Oh, hi Chris

I think they are just done alphabetically! Probably some exceptions to the rule though!
