{"product_id":"14k-gold-plumb-solder-kit","title":"14K Gold Plumb Solder Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 14K Gold Plumb Solder Kit provides four distinct gold solders in a single convenient set, giving jewelers the flow-temperature variety needed for multi-step fabrication work. Each solder strip is approximately one-third of a pennyweight (1\/3 DWT) and is ready for torch use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes one piece each of: \u003cstrong\u003e14K Yellow Gold Easy Flow\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e14K Yellow Gold Medium Flow\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e14K Yellow Gold Hard Flow\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003e14K White Gold Easy Flow\u003c\/strong\u003e. Together, these four solders cover the full range of joining operations in a typical fabrication sequence — from structural assembly to final detail work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are \u003cstrong\u003eplumb gold solders\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning each solder matches the karat of the metal it is intended to join. Plumb solders are the correct choice for constructing new jewelry pieces, where karat integrity throughout the piece is required. They differ from repair solders, which are formulated at a lower gold content and are designed to flow at lower temperatures than plumb solders — making repair solders the appropriate choice for work on finished or previously assembled pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEasy, medium, and hard designations describe the relative flow temperatures among the three yellow solders: easy flow melts first, followed by medium flow, then hard flow. This progression allows jewelers to make multiple solder joins in sequence without remelting earlier joins — a fundamental technique in fabricated jewelry construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKit includes four solder types: 14K yellow easy, 14K yellow medium, 14K yellow hard, and 14K white easy flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEach piece is approximately 1\/3 DWT in weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlumb gold solders — matched to 14K karat for manufacturing integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHard solders designed for torch application\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGraduated flow temperatures allow sequential joining without disturbing earlier joins\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for new jewelry fabrication and construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKarat\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14K\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSolder Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlumb gold (manufacturing grade)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication Method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTorch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight per Piece\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 1\/3 DWT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePieces Included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlow Grades Included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEasy, Medium, Hard (yellow); Easy (white)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 piece – 14K Yellow Gold Easy Flow solder (~1\/3 DWT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 piece – 14K Yellow Gold Medium Flow solder (~1\/3 DWT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 piece – 14K Yellow Gold Hard Flow solder (~1\/3 DWT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 piece – 14K White Gold Easy Flow solder (~1\/3 DWT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlumb gold solders are recommended for constructing new pieces, not repair work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor repair work on existing jewelry, use repair-grade gold solders, which have a lower gold content and flow at lower temperatures than plumb solders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEasy flow melts before medium flow; medium flow melts before hard flow — plan your join sequence accordingly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Otto Frei","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43581629399254,"sku":"800-555","price":280.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/14k-gold-plumb-solder-kit-otto-frei.jpg?v=1719957486","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/it\/products\/14k-gold-plumb-solder-kit","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
