RE: [a/s] Plumbing help!



Chuck, sorry to hear about the freeze. Sure not like the old days of quality copper pipes. You will need to cut the end off and purchase a crimp tool and a few collars.  Most plumbing supply houses carry the “crimp tool” you will need. (buy the one with 6’’ or less handles)  I carry extra elbows and a few lengths of pipe, collars and a crimp tool in case I encounter a leak. There was a lawsuit against the company that produced some of that pipe a year or two ago and many homes have been total re-plumbed at no-charge if equipped and had leaks.

Not a real hard repair.
