I'm installing a Steam Generator. I have to solder a copper 90 deg fitting onto a short threaded copper fitting which is threaded into the Protection Valve. Thiscopper fitting has threads on one end a slip coupler on the other end.
Since I can't thread the fitting into the Steam Generator once the 90 is installed, I have to install the threaded fitting first then solder the fitting.
So my question is, will the teflon tape on the copper threads burn/melt off during the soldering? I'll try to wrap threaded part with wet rag - but the whole fitting is only two inches long.
