Yep! Although propane will work too. The stuff I am thinking of (and I  can't 
remember the name if it) melts at something like 475F, and isn't anywhere  
near as tough to melt as say, SilPhos brazing rod for refrigeration apps.

The  silver solder I am talking about is sold in HVAC stores. Not   
particularly high melting point, but FAR stronger than ANY plumbing  solder.  
Make sure 
you use the right flux. That's what I used, and my  system is plumbed  with 
7/8" 
refrigeration tubing and fittings.  Light, easy to run, flexible,  perfect. 
And 
given that the head  pressure on a heat pump can hit 300 PSI, I am  not 
worried about  anything coming apart. 



This is absolutely correct and a MAPP  Gas torch will do the job on 3/4'  
copper pipe which is
as big as  most of us will ever need
