SF1 : Sil-Fos 15 Silver Brazing Rods

Sil-Fos® 15 Silver alloys allow the joining of copper to copper without a flux and copper based alloys (brass and bronze) with a flux. Sil-Fos® is the workhorse filler metal used in the a/c and refrigeration industry. A key factor is the ductility of Sil-Fos® 15. It can be readily bent (without heating), thus permitting easier access to the backsides of joints.

The Sil-Fos® 15 is the best alloy for general copper-copper brazing in the Sil-Fos® family. The phosphorus in the Sil-Fos® product serves as the fluxing agent and no separate flux is necessary. For brass applications however, flux is recommended. For use where close fit-ups cannot be maintained Sil-Fos® 15 works well to “bridge” gaps. Sil-Fos® 15 is the most ductile of the entire Sil-Fos® family to best withstand the stresses inherent in refrigeration applications. Slow flow.
