Where did this joker learn how to solder? The flux should be brushed on the outside of the copper as well as the inside hub of the ball valve. He should also heat the bottom of the hub, not the pipe. As soon as he is done soldering, he should have a wet rag ready to cool the body of the ballvalve. I`ve been a plumber for over 30 years and I have seen home owners do better soldering than this guy.

Be sure to get the right help from an expert plumber. It can save you a lot of time and money and even frustration. Don't rely on your own knowledge to get the plumbing done.

Solder paste ... I think he means flux. Then he heats the ball valve, I guess to warp the seals. Then he does not wipe the solder off the joint. And his joints look like crap.
Expert village more like village idiot.
