Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006634

To join lead pipes or fittings by soldering, creating a smooth, watertight connection. This process involves heating the lead components and applying molten solder, which then solidifies to form a durable seal. The technique requires skill to achieve a consistent and strong joint, particularly in older plumbing systems where lead pipes were common.
