I have a brass 1" ball valve and wish to solder a copper pipe to it.
After prep etc.. should I take apart the valve before soldering to prevent
the plastic around the ball from melting? Jim

I believe it's teflon...and I have never taken or seen anyone take
them apart.

I usually put a small wet rag around the
valve part to keep it cool while
soldering the connections.

nope, just get the heat on, solder it and get the heat off. it'll be fine.

I don't think they will come apart without damage.
