Map Pro for 1 1/4" copper pipe

[Ed from chicago]

Hi Guys, need to solder some 1 1/4" copper. Can get MAPP gas anymore, will MAP Pro work? Thanks again for your advice.

That is all you can get and it is close enough to MAPP to work.

Thanks hj, I was concerned that the Map pro wouldn't heat up enough, and then I wouldn't be able to reconnect my pipes.

Been using Mapp gas for a while. Had to get a new torch recently and bought a can of Mapp Pro with it. This s*** gets so hot so quick it's unreal.

Unless you had a reserve of MAPP gas, you have NOT been using it, because it has not been available since the factory burned down several years ago.

Mapp Pro is propylene gas.
The following talks about cutting, but it applies to soldering and/or brazing as well.
