I don't use anything special! Usually when I'm doing it...it is brass to copper (ream(sp) adapter) and I use the same flux,solder,etc.

Low temp silver solder is the best, lead will work too.

Sorry, I'm old and still refer to plumbing solder as 'lead' because it used to be and that is what we called it.
