DETAILS
Stay Brite® 8 is a lead-free solder engineered to provide a strong, ductile connection on copper, brass, steel, and stainless steel. The silver color is also a good color match to stainless steel. Stay Brite® 8 differs from Stay Brite® 8 as its higher silver content provides a melting range vs. Stay Brite® 8’s single temperature melting point. The melting range makes it suitable for soldering connections with a wider clearance. Stay Brite® 8’s low temperature characteristic promotes capillary flow and less base metal distortion and oxidation. Stay Brite® 8 is often selected for residential HVAC tube connections as an alternative to brazing. Conforms to NSF Standard 51 for food service equipment. Conforms to the EU Reach & RoHS directive.

Recommended Flux | Harris Stay Clean paste flux and Harris Bridgit ® Burn resistant paste flux are good choices for soldering copper and brass. For copper tube plumbing applications Bridgit Water Soluble flux may also be used. For soldering steel or stainless steel Harris Stay Clean® liquid flux is recommended. Stay Clean liquid is an active flux that provides improved oxide removal and protection hen soldering ferrous metals. Remove flux residue upon completion. |
