I fail to see how this conclusion can be drawn from a few isolated
cases of cracking. In years of reading I can never recall a single
cautionary reference to quenching and I've quenched nearly 100 copper
boilers and never had a crack, but then I've never used anything but new
silver solder from a known source. Quenching serves a useful purpose.
>2) Only buy the best
I can completely agree with this. Boilers are no place to skimp on
materials.
