Gasflux® is our inline system that injects flux into the fuel gas to deliver it exactly where the flame is directed. This results in superior fluxing and wetting action that encourages the brazing alloy to flow evenly and follow the flame smoothly.

Non-corrosive and fluoride-free, Gasflux® optimizes joint strength, allows for faster brazing times, and reduces filler rod consumption and post braze cleaning. The Gasflux® Company can manufacture a specific liquid flux to suit anyone’s application.

Our torch brazing products are used by companies involved in the manufacturing of air conditioners, condensing units, heaters, chillers, and refrigeration units used in a wide variety of applications, from residential to commercial/industrial. In addition to copper-phosphorous filler metals for joining copper to copper, we offer high-percentage silver filler metals and silver brazing paste fluxes that deliver clean brazes in any joint configuration. 

By using our torch brazing products, HVAC companies are saving money while producing high-integrity joints that will not leak, whether the equipment is used indoors or outdoors in continuous duty applications.
