Hello,

Does anyone have any experience with Alloy Grade TC (95% tin, 4.85% cu, and .15% selenium). I've been told that this recently developed lead-free solder is the only lead-free solder that meets NSF 61. The specs state that it has a tensile strength of 7130 psi (which is about 2000 psi GREATER than 95/5).

I'm considering using this on a job for 2" copper water piping.

Any comments?

Thanks.
