1st solder, sitting water? ,,,

[Charles Gonzales]

I am a DIYer doing my first copper solder project for a new bathtub valve and faucet. As I aligned the faucet pipe, it angled upward, which would result in slight sitting water, once the valve is off. (I have attached a picture).

Not sure if I can make it perfect, but is it worth the effort to redo the faucet pipe? Is the potential of sitting water okay?

Thanks,

There will be so little that I would not worry. In fact, often we have handheld shower heads that hold quite a bit of water in the loop as they're hanging on the wall.

Since water always seeks it's way down, you will not have a lot of water in the horizontal pipe.
BTW, did you solder this pipe under the green plastic cover and at the wall?
