Modified a soldering iron for welding pipes in hard-to-reach places. The reader helped

I decided to improve the soldering iron for 600 rubles, so that it became more maneuverable for this, it was required to install a nozzle on its end. But bad luck, I did not know where the heating element is located, wrote an article describing the problem, because there was no answer on the Internet. A reader (Anatoly Antipov) responded and sent a photo from which it was clear where the heater was.

Modernization

Now you can get to work, grind off the tip of the tool, marked the center and drilled a hole there, it was the turn to make a thread.

The holder itself was not there, so I installed the tap in a screwdriver and, at second speed, calmly cut it. It remains to check in practice and weld the pipe with a nozzle at the end, as they wrote to me, only more expensive devices have such an opportunity.

Check

I installed the nozzles, turned it on, warmed it up to operating temperature, applied it and welded it, everything worked out. The only inconvenience is that you have to press the fitting and the pipe at an angle, but when necessary, you can be patient.

Now, if you have to weld a pipe in a corner, you can safely do it, this happens when a pipe walled up in the wall breaks off, and you can't get anywhere sideways.
