Brazing Valves on Kegs

[Mike333h]

Hello all!!

It may have been asked before but I could not find it in my search. I have heard that you need to tig weld the valves on to the stainless keg conversions or use the weld less valves with the seal, but I am not completely sure why.

Would it not be feasible to use a food grade safe brazing rod with the flux already built on to it or use a silver solder and use an oxy/acetylene torch?

Thanks for all the help guys

Mike

Thanks for the link!! I guess in my hastily search I over looked it. I even did a search but I searched brazing.
