I am going to be installing a 2nd water meter, and I am presented with a problem.
My current plumbing setup -
3/4" incoming service to a brass shutoff
a copper elbow from the shutoff
to the water meter.
In order to add a Tee for the 2nd meter I need to sweat off the old elbow to the old meter, and replace it with a Tee. How can I remove the water from the line at this point (since it is at the lowest point in the house).
Which leads to a 2nd question any ideas on sweat off a pipe that is connected to the main value for the house without damagine the soldered joint on the other end?
