As long as we're covering the whole primer system, you will also want to use "silver solder" when soldering this union onto the 1/8"copper line. Plumbing solder doesn't do well with the dissimilar metals and vibration. I had problems with intermittent seeps and leaks in the primer system until I redid the joints with silver solder.
