I have everything for silver solder as I was expecting to solder them on the aluminum, but can you silver solder to steel?
They are not stainless, as they stick to magnets. I gathered some fittings, but they turned out to be too thin on the solder side due to drilling them out to match the metric tube. Guess I will make a trip to ACE this week, they seem to have damned near everything. They don't list a spec in the manual for the pressure, but I would expect 15-20psi minimum.
