Abstract
A machine for soldering a work product. A solder applicator is located within a zone of saturated vapor to direct an extended stream of molten solder against a work product conveyed through the machine. Molten solder can be drained from the applicator by pivoting the applicator about a horizontal axis to a drain orientation. The applicator includes an end plate having an axially extending hole communicating with the lowermost portion of the solder within the applicator when the applicator has the drain orientation and the applicator includes an end plate having a hole extending axially therethrough at a location in alignment with the applicator end plate hole when the applicator end plate has the drain orientation. The applicator end plate hole is sealed when the holes are not in alignment.
