Hi,
I spent my weekend ripping out my upstairs plumbing and reinstalling. Diameter is 1/2". Everything went well except when I went to put the pieces together. They just would not go together. It seems they caught up. I can't imagine this is normal. Is this typical? I even took a new 1/2" 90° elbow and tried to push it on a new 1/2" copper pipe.....it was very very difficult. What's interesting is I had no problem fitting the fittings on the existing 1/2" pipe I ripped out. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Doug
