The tube is any steel tube that you can lay your hands on that looks about right, the brazing rod I use is a silver solder NOT lead tin but silver brazing rod with a melting point of circa 650 deg C so I can use a plimbers lamp. You will also need a flux!

If it is a propane/butane torch, make sure you get a lower melting point silver solder - if it is mapp gas, you will be fine with any silver solder. 650- 680 works, higher and you use a lot of gas:thumbdown:

Mapp Gas in a Rothenberger torch is good.
