solder on pipe?

[mtimpani (Mark Timpani, CMI)]

I see solder up higher but not lower by the tank end. Where silver tubes go into the copper. Is this normal?

[sfetty (Dave Fetty, CMI)]

Yes.

The solder is in that ridge on the bottom copper fitting.

[mtimpani (Mark Timpani, CMI)]

thank you both

the “ridge” is a crimped on copper fitting factory applied to the flexible appliance connector
