Soldered Joints:
Cooling and Cleaning

Allow the completed joint to cool naturally. Shock cooling with water may stress the joint. When cool, clean off any remaining flux residue with a wet rag (Figure 26). Whenever possible, based on end use, completed systems should be flushed to remove excess flux and debris.
