Fixing the pipe is not going to be as much of a problem as getting a fitting to fit. If the pipe froze, 99% of the time it also swelled up at the freeze and fittings will not fit the new size. If the freeze was bad enough, the entire pipe could be oversized. : Hi, : I was wondering if there was a way to fix a broken copper pipe without soldering it, or am I going to have to replace it and solder it in place again. It was frozen and broken in the middle of the pipe and isn't leaking near a joint as far as I can tell. : Thanks
