"I wish to purchase the solder type valves. Can they be soldered in place, or should they be disassembled before heating them?"
As long as you have some experience with soldering; you shouldn't have any problems. Most beginners tend
to overheat their fittings and joints, and so, if you are brand new to soldering, you might want
to consider purchasing threaded valves instead of solder types. The valve should be left in place when soldering and not taken apart.
According to Kitz, you should leave the valve fully open before heating. First you preheat the valve evenly to about 212 degrees.
Also preheat the tubing close to the valve before soldering the valve. Then heat the valve (where you want the solder to flow to).
Don't heat the valve body more than one minute and remember, most people tend to over heat. As soon as the solder has become solid, wet the body with a wet cloth to cool it down. Don't
open the valve or move anything until the valve body has totally cooled down. Flush the valve and
the tube interior with water as soon as the piping work has been completed.
