my flange was put in in 1959. It was not soldered, just bent over the flange. Never leaked. I replaced the flange because it was broke. Could have bent it back over the flange like it was done in 1959 but i used Hercules plastic silicone which is a lead substitute. Worked well.

Thank you. And this is an dieing art. This is one of the few old school things my uncle didn't teach me before his graduation to a better place. 👍🏾

The soldered flange looked so nice after you finished whipping it. Would pre-soldering a coating onto the flange help? Then apply the flux onto the solder coated flange and proceed as shown?

Great video man I follow you on the Facebook page, keep the videos coming a young guy like me has got a lot to learn from your experience.

I got 5 i have to repair at the job site and they are all in concrete and 4/5 broke 3-4”below the concrete!! Fun fun fun !!

very good video, thank you for sharing. How do you attach the lead sleeve to the existing lead bend?

Thank you!

Thank you for the video but where can I get a lead flange?

Finger was a precautionary measure to avoid getting married.
