Harris Brazing Rod | 5% Silver | Silver Brazing Alloy | USA

Description:
The Harris Stay-Silv 5 (SS5) Brazing Rod is a medium-range phos-copper silver alloy designed for reliable copper-to-copper and copper-to-brass brazing applications. Containing 5% silver, this filler metal offers greater ductility than Harris 0 or Stay-Silv 2, making it ideal for situations where joint movement, thermal cycling, or service vibration may occur.

Stay-Silv 5 flows rapidly when heated quickly to its liquidus, penetrating tight connections with ease. With slower heating, its wider melting range allows the operator to effectively fill loose or wider gaps, making it highly versatile in the field. It is self-fluxing on copper-to-copper joints, while Stay-Silv white flux should be used when brazing copper-to-brass applications.

Widely used in HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing, Stay-Silv 5 is an economical alternative to higher silver-content filler metals while still delivering strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant joints. Manufactured in the USA and compliant with EU REACH & RoHS directives, it offers trusted performance for professional and industrial use.

Key Points:
⦁ Medium-Range Brazing Alloy – 5% silver, phos-copper filler metal for reliable copper brazing.
⦁ Greater Ductility – More ductile than Harris 0 or Stay-Silv 2, suitable for vibration and thermal expansion.
⦁ Self-Fluxing on Copper – No flux required for copper-to-copper joints; use Stay-Silv white flux for brass.
⦁ Flexible Heating Performance – Flows rapidly into tight joints with fast heating; fills wider gaps with slower heating.
⦁ Versatile Applications – Ideal for HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing copper connections.
⦁ Economical Alternative – Lower silver content makes it a cost-effective choice for copper and brass brazing.
⦁ Corrosion Resistant – Similar to copper base metal, but not recommended for use in sulfur-rich environments.
⦁ Not for Ferrous Metals – Avoid using on steel or other ferrous base metals due to low ductility.
⦁ Safe & Compliant – Meets EU REACH & RoHS environmental and safety standards.
⦁ Made in USA – Precision manufactured for consistent quality and reliability.
