  • I sanded the new board down a bit and it fits well now.

    I didn't solder for a number of reasons: I didn't have the equipment, I had read that it's best not to if there's still water in the system, and this looked easier!

  • Hello, was thinking that the spacing might be an issue. Soldering water filled pipe is really difficult. Have used a wet and dry vac to remove the water, then I love fire and nice soldered joint and have all the kit.

    Tho I have used one of these as a temporary repair as I didn't have any copper pipe https://www.toolstation.com/compression-repair-coupler/p68637? and haven't gone back since.

  • I like the sharkbite ones, do you have them out there?

  • I bought one of them but because of where the joist was and how much I mashed up the old pipe I couldn't cut a small enough section of the pipe out.
