Align and clamp workpieces together, using rules, squares, or hand tools, or position items in fixtures, jigs, or vises. Connect and turn regulator valves to activate and adjust gas flow and pressure so that desired flames are obtained. Position and secure workpieces, using hoists, cranes, wire, and banding machines or hand tools. Melt and apply solder along adjoining edges of workpieces to solder joints, using soldering irons, gas torches, or electric-ultrasonic equipment.
