using glue to attach a barb to a radiator isn't a good idea, it'll get loose in no time

sure, it's not your system, so if a leak develops after 3 weeks, who cares?

easypanic · 24th April 2005, 21:57

Eheh, my bank account cares

jort · 24th April 2005, 21:59

its some kinda of cement (on package label)
its with 2 componenten that have to be mixed

I know there are 2-component glues that are extremely strong. way stronger then solder and even brazing (not welding though

)

but if easypanic is comming the 4th of may, it might be just as easy to get jort to fix it then

Loctite makes special glues for almost every thing.
Look up on inet what sort of glue you need to use, some glues are even better instead of brazing them.

I recommend a glue that has a good fitting towards water and good strenght so you can't get it loose when you turn or press.
and above that you can weld it or do a bit of silicone above it.(like in showers)

Just clean it hard to blank copper. The broken copper tube you can use again because its the correct diameter for the hole in the radiator, just heat it up and remove the "old" solder. Put some liquid solderflux on both the surfaces, and use some light torch (not to big , or you wil loose the other fittings).
After that, just give it a light pressure leak test

ps: the difference between soldering and welding(brazing) is the temperature. Brazing is always + 450° melting point temperature
