brazed.. 15% silver solder hold 300psi of water i dont think you would be doing more then that make sure you clean the brass good with some emery cloth or 3m and use some BRAZING FLUX (its white) not soldering flux i gaurentee it

yes it could be welded

Except that he said, "brazing is no good," hence my solder suggestion.

brazing has a much higher tensile strengh than anything else you could do for brass. try some dev-con though
when done properly brazing is stronger than a weld in some aspects

I agree, but he said it was "no good", whatever that means. It's not up to us to tell him to use something he says won't work. The original poster could be helpful by explaining why it won't work...

How come you said brazing was no good? What's the application. FWIW, brazing is VERY strong because the contact area is so large.
