For a more convenient connection of electrical wires by soldering, the author suggests using an autonomous bathtub. It can be made independently from available materials.
For the manufacture of this homemade product you will need a gas spray gun with a burner, a metal clamp for sewer pipes with a diameter of 50 mm, an M8 stud and a copper cable lug.
First of all, we change the standard bolts on the clamp to longer ones so that you can freely put it on a gas spray.
Next, cut a piece of M8 pin suitable for length and screw it into the clamp, and then fix it with a lock nut. In this case, the length of the stud depends on the length of the burner.
The main stages of work
At the next stage, we put a 50 mm cable lug onto the hairpin and fix it with nuts. The tip itself needs to be installed vertically.
The homemade product is ready, and you can try it in work. We put solder in the tip, the wire itself is treated with flux, then we solder it.
If you need to solder the wires under the ceiling, then the stand can be temporarily removed so as not to interfere.
In general, such an autonomous bathtub works very well, but there is one caveat. The cable lug heats up very much from the flame of the burner and heats the pin together with the clamp, which is fixed on the cylinder.
Therefore, you need to either use thermal protection (for example, in this case, you can take pieces of asbestos fabric), or fix the clamp itself not on the cylinder, but on the burner.
