System:
CD1000DP – 1000ws capacitive discharge resistance welder
WH1125A – Opposed air actuated weld head
1/8″ tungsten upper electrode (wedge shaped tip with notch)
1/8″ copper lower electrode (tapered to 0.075″)
1awg weld cables
The WH2125A is configured with a tungsten 1/8″ upper electrode that has a wedge shaped tip (0.07″ width) and a notch cut out to help gather the copper strands; and a 1/8″ copper lower electrode that is tapered to 1/16″. 1awg weld cables are used and the spring force is set to 15lbs for the weld pictured. The stop nut gap is set to 3/8″.
The same welder settings were used for all four samples. The CD1000DP is set with Pulse 1 at 100ws, Pulse 2 at 400ws, and Total Energy at 500ws.
The settings outlined above are a good starting point and provide good pull strength; but further experimentation with weld energy, spring force, and electrode tip shape can lead to even better results.
Summary:
The CD1000DP and WH1125A are an ideal solution for attaching the braided cable to the plated brass components. The notch in the tip can be removed if desired for a flatter weld spot, but the strands may spread out more. Higher energies are available if the pull strength needs to be increased.

Most of the times reason to replace old fixture is leak , or simply bathroom remodeling.
