I agree...

It really doesn’t matter about the size of the equipment. I do electronics. My neighbor makes orthodontic equipment from stainless steel and silver solder.

It’s the same problem. If it’s screwed up you have to take it completely apart and clean everything scrupulously and then start from scratch.

Yup, silver soldering is a great process but it's VERY fussy about cleanliness.

I think that's why a lot of people are afraid of it. They've tried in the past, haven't gotten everything squeaky
clean and then had problems. In my opinion, if you get a good fit and the parts are clean it's almost impossible to
screw up...

Well I chickened out and drilled and tapped it for 1/4" pipe, there is enough room to swing a 45 degree street ell and use a length of hydraulic hose. Thank's for the help!!

I would just say you were being prudent. Picking a repair process that you know will work versus
something that you're uncertain about is never a bad idea,,,

And have the capability of doing too, without having to buy new stuff to do the repair….
