Thanks. However, if I install a sweat connection, then I need a soldering iron and solder, right? I haven't used those things since junior high. Why is sweat connection easier than compression? seems with the latter, all I need is a wrench? Thankx. What are some advantages of sweat over compression?
I wouldn't sweat the compression. But then some people do fold under pressure.
Ya see what you really need is a Fartzen valve. You Ramset that into the Proprieting Pickler, set it to "Rotate", attach the Board Stretcher, now that's a Hendersen Board Stretcher-don't let 'em sell you anything else, fire up the Ion Streamer and you're all set.
Let me know if you have any problems.

For soldering copper pipes [WITHOUT water in them- dried, and with the copper surfaces lightly sanded and fluxed] the soldering iron is not powerful enough. Thus a gas blowtorch is used [NOT an oxygen torch, just a blowtorch like bernz-o-matic]. To acquire experience, first practice on some short pieces of tubing to get the hang of it.
