Something like this will not "sweat" like a copper fitting. One of the reasons is that steel does not conduct heat as well as copper. So it is hard to get the area the right temperature to work. So tin both pieces before you try to fuse them. Another thing. Everything needs to be absolutely clean. Any foreign matter at all and it will not work.
