copper to copper- 15% silver
copper to brass- 45% silver
Those have worked well for me if it's a problem. You can use 15% on both but surfaces must be spotless for copper to brass.

35% with reccomemnded flux, works well with disimilar metals as well, like copper to brass or copper to steel or steel to brass.
and definetly agree with big john on 15% copper to copper.

For general refrigeration use.
Cu to Cu, Silfos 5 , no flux required.
Brass to copper, with flux.
In both cases the joint should be as clean as possible.
