J.W. Harris Stay Silv 15 1/8″ 28 Stick Tube
J.W. Harris Stay Silv 15 1/8″ 28 Stick Tube
The Harris Stay-Silv 15 PhosCopper Brazing Alloy is the industry standard for air conditioning and refrigeration applications. Still widely used, but now often replaced by Dynaflow® in many HVAC/R applications. For many years the standard of the industry, the 15% silver alloy has proven its value. This filler metal is excellent for situations in which close fit-up does not exist, and where thermal expansion and service vibration are involved.

J.W. Harris Blockade 2mm x 20 Stick Tube
J.W. Harris Blockade 2mm x 20 Stick Tube
The Harris Blockage Phosphorus Tin Silicon Brazing Alloy is a proprietary phosphorus-tin-silicon alloy engineered as an inexpensive alternative to copper-copper and copper-brass alloys. It is self-fluxing on copper and its lower melting temperature makes it an excellent choice for brass connections. BLOCKADE flows rapidly but can be used to “cap” brazed joints.
Blockade’s® unique silicon addition offers significant advantages over phos/copper and silver/phos/copper, (BCuP), brazing alloys. Among the benefits are: bright alloy color during cooling that allows visual verification of a good braze joint, improved ductility over BCuP-2 alloy, reduced brazing temperature, and reduced material costs. It is often used with Stay-Silv® white brazing flux as a replacement for high silver alloys when brazing brass.

J.W. Harris Solar Flux Type B 1# Can
J.W. Harris Solar Flux Type B 1# Can
Solar Flux is a complex chemical compound in the form of a very fine powder. Solar Flux is mixed with alcohol (methanol/methyl alcohol preferred) and brushed on the weld joint. It is formulated to shield the back of the weld joint from oxygen, dissipate heat and unwanted oxides, and to clean the surface of the metal. It will aid in the flow of filler metal over base metal and form a protective barrier to prevent re-oxidation and heat scale.
Type B for stainless steel, (except 309, 310), precipitation hardening steels, chrome-moly steels, other alloy steels with nickel content below 25%

J.W. Harris Stay-Silv White Flux
J.W. Harris Stay-Silv White Flux
Stay Silv white paste flux is a homogenous brazing flux ideally suited for use with a variety of base metals. A mixture of boric acid and fluoride compounds, it is formulated to provide smooth flux application, even coverage, and excellent protection during braze heating cycles.
Stay Silv white flux is recommended for brazing copper and copper alloys, (except aluminum bronze), steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys and other ferrous base metals. It is used with many high silver brazing filler metals of the AWS A5.8 BAg classifications and ISO 17672 class Ag alloys.
It is also suitable for use with many phosphorus-copper-silver alloys, (AWS BCuP and ISO CuP), for brazing copper to brass.
Flux may be water thinned but care should be taken to avoid excess dilution.
Flux turns clear, (transparent), close to brazing application temperature. This is a useful indicator you are ready to apply braze wire or rod.

J.W. Harris Stay Brite 1/16″ X 1# Spool
J.W. Harris Stay Brite 1/16″ X 1# Spool
The important advantage of Stay-Brite® solders is the greater strength of the overall component. After joining, its lower working temperature eliminates the weakening of the base metals caused by annealment from high brazing heat. The result is a stronger, more economical joint.
Stay-Brite® silver bearing solders have the same excellent affinity as SafetySilv® alloys for bonding with most of the ferrous and nonferrous alloys (including stainless steel, nickel, copper, brass, etc.) It provides a considerably higher than necessary elongation for sound dissimilar metal joints and vibration applications.
Stay-Brite® alloys range in temperature from 430°F to 535°F. Stay-Brite® solder eliminates oxide scale formed from brazing heat. No nitrogen purge is required for HVAC/R tubes. They are cadmium free and nontoxic. Stay-Brite® is a eutectic alloy with a single melting point of 430°F (221°C).

J.W. Harris Stay-Clean Flux
J.W. Harris Stay-Clean Flux
Stay-Clean Liquid Soldering Flux is an inorganic acid & salt type flux. It is formulated to be active at temperatures optimum for a range of solder compositions and is ideal for soldering a variety of base metals.
Stay Clean liquid effectively removes surface oxide and prevents oxide formation during soldering. Stay Clean can be used with most tin based solder compositions and is an excellent companion flux with Harris Stay Brite® and Stay Brite® #8. Stay Clean is an active soldering flux. It works well on copper and brass but is more frequently used on base metals that require a more aggressive flux, such as steel, nickel, and stainless steel, (it is not suitable for aluminum or magnesium).
Minimal pre-cleaning is required with Stay Clean Flux, but it is good practice to remove excess oil, grease, or other surface contaminants prior to fluxing and soldering.
Flux should be applied with a brush or other type applicator. Avoid getting excess flux inside tube or other connections.
Flux residue is corrosive and a post-solder flux removal procedure should be employed. Because of this it is not recommended for use in electrical or electronic applications.

J. W. Harris Stay-Silv 5 Medium-Silver PhosCopper Brazing Alloy 1/8″ X 20″
The Harris Stay-Silv 5 medium-silver PhosCopper brazing alloy is designed for copper to copper applications. It can also be used on copper to low zinc brass but this application requires use of Stay Silv white brazing flux.
Like many phosphorus/copper brazing filler metals Stay Silv 5 will flow rapidly when heated quickly to its liquidus. This allows penetration into tight clearance connections. With slower heating the alloy melting range provides the ability to filler wider gaps.
Stay Silv 5 is often chosen as an economical alternative to higher silver content alloys for copper and brass applications.
Stay Silv 5 is not recommended for brazing steel or other ferrous base metals. In these applications the phosphorus content promote
