    Solder to washing machine box
    What is the best way to attach copper to a plastic washing machine box with brass fittings?
    Options:
    1. Solder pipe inside fitting as recommended by manufacturer
    2. Solder female fitting to pipe, apply pipe tape, screw in pipe to box.

    I fear my lack of soldering skill is going to melt the box... because I suspect brass is harder and will take longer to heat up.

    Just remember heat rises -- plastic on bottom -- heat above it
