Would this gun solder copper tubing to stainless steel?

No it wont. If you need something for the job you're looking for I suggest you buy the Chicago flux wire welder. It's not expensive and good enough to do any piping soldering. Here's the link Chicago Electric Welding Systems 90 Amp Flux Wire WelderI hope this will answer your question.

Probably. They are a non magnetic grade, which rules out the ferritic and martensitic grades. They work great and I have seen no evidence of galvanic corrosion between the sankey coupler and these ball lock fittings.

I think I understand you; since the tubing is pretty long just go up higher and cut across the tube to make a new nose for the stainless steel piece to fit. Hope this helps

yes but on a low flame. This portasol device has the ability to reach 850 °F; whereas copper soldering needs a range of 350 to 600 degrees Fahrenheit.

I would tend to say no. My husband uses a Weller pistol grip soldering iron for jobs like that.

I have not had good luck using it on stainless. There are many types of stainless and perhaps it would work better on the alloy you are working with, but it did not work for me.

This is not a soldering tool. It's a small heat gun, best use is for heat shrink tubing in tight areas and other duties that requires high heat being blown in a smaller area. I have no idea if it will work for your needs.

Yes, but you'll need a different shielding gas. I personally use a spool gun for my stainless, but it isn't required

There should be no problem. Just make sure you cleaned all the plastic off the tip and it will work just fine. You just don't want to get melted plastic in your solder joints! So clean it all off.

My husband had used it to solder a pot metal carb back together, however he said it should be since it is solder and solder usually is. :)

Yes they will. but if you run plated or FMJ, keep a tight eye on the expansion of the casing. If too small, you will get a projectile jammed into a too small casing. A fold of copper will develop as the bullet is pressing in. It really doesn't effect the discharge or the accuracy much but there might be some yuk factor to the buyer of the round.... A good gun will shoot almost anything but a squib.

I use my for home pluming jobs. I'm not sure if it works with silver soldering.

Yes it does accept copper bb's. As long as they are .177 caliber they will work

This is a question for the manufacturer. The stainless tubing is highly resistant to corrosion but powder coating may strip off get estimate of life from any power coating company listed in your telephone book..

No I have tried it and it dosnt work....was bummed about it. I figured since it was stainless it would

Stainless no prob just get the proper spool of wire but aluminum is more tricky you have to have a shielding gas to make a good weld to do this you just have to get an compatible attachment and bottle of gas. With out it the weld wont stick and just make a mess.

I do not know if it can be used on copper or not. I guess you could try it on a part that does not show first to see if it works. Sorry, but I did not use it on copper.
