This was installed about a year ago. Developed minor leak here recently on left side of the valve where soldered. Thinking I’ll cut section just right of the valve, unsweat the valve, then use stopless coupling to reconnect. Kind of worried about how to get everything to fit though given the...

Installed under sink plumbing, stub out was very short so hub of the wye is up against the back wall of the cabinet.

I tried sweating it off but doesn’t budge. Possible that I kinked it or pinched it while trying to pull the cap off. What...

Hi- Trying my luck with water heater install. So far nothing leaks but is that the end of the story? Can I feel comfortable that this isn’t going to pop a leak in few days or weeks? I left it pressurized/filled up the tank, and no signs of water anywhere. Can I sleep at night or should I just...
