A braze ring includes a generally annular body and an outer annular channel formed on an outer surface of the body. A method of connecting a straight tubular end to a flared tubular end includes locating a substantially annular braze ring substantially concentrically around the straight tubular end, inserting the straight tubular end into the flared tubular end so that the braze ring engages the flared tubular end, and heating the braze ring so that flux separates from an exterior channel of the braze ring and the separated flux from the exterior channel contacts at least one of a faying surface of the flared tubular end and a faying surface of the straight tubular end. Another braze ring includes a body having a substantially symmetric cross-sectional shape forming an inner channel and an outer channel and flux carried within each of the inner channel and the outer channel.
