Here is a picture of me teaching my Son how to sweat copper. I cut all the pieces and he put all 3 valves together and sweated them all by himself at the age of 7.took him 1 hr to do all 3 and he only had 2 leaks (never sweated or put thinks together before)

That's great! Gotta be proud of that boy of yours.

That's cool, my kid is 15 and won't touch a torch, but he will thread gas pipe with a ratchet threader all day long.

Do you use the H2O flux Indiana requires. Man I hate that stuff. Lotta guys don't mess with it over there. I couldn't tell if that was a #5 can or H2O can of flux.

Congrats. Good to give the kid a sense of accomplishment and to know you are proud of him.

 

[3KP]

It was the good stuff :brows:!!! that H2O stuff sucks! I just ran out of the I had a can of Old #5 so I used it. The supply house here still sale the crap out of that stuff. (It all because some lady wanting easy money!) There is nothing wrong with the #5 Just got to run water through the system to flush it out. MOI

 

[ILPlumber]

Don't feel bad. You and eleventy billion other guys still use #5. Including me.

H2O is alright if you solder it immediately. Let it sit for an hour while your fitting up other stuff= green:furious:

My youngest son on the other hand

Now my youngest son which just turned 6 last week. He tells everyone when he grows up he's going to work for 3 Kings Plumbing, Have him a really fast motorcycle and a monster truck! :whistling2: He didn't fall far from the tree. I don't have the motorcycle anymore wife told me it had to go!!
But still have my big truck! (not a monster truck though) 77 Dodge Power Wagon crew cab (Big Blue) I'll try to post pic in a few days.

But he also says he's going to play Pro Football. He's only 6 years old but weighs about 62 pounds and 3'11"" tall stocky little dude!

We just have to wait and see what his future hold for him.

He doesn't want to be a plumber! Want to be in the Military. But only time will tell.

 

[gear junkie]

Have him talk to me first, maybe he'll change his mind. LOL. He can be in the military and be a plumber, that's what I do.

 

[3KP]

He wants to be in the Marines. like I was suppose to be. They don't like people who break a few bones and get head injury. 2 weeks before deployment. I still knew to shoot the bad guys what else did you need?:laughing:
