[QUOTE="bettingpython, post: 2158384, member: 4307"] 3 houses we looked at when we were buying a house got ticked off the list because I saw compression fittings on pipes. Clean mating surfaces, flux, and a propane torch. Heat the connector, not the pipe. If you were in Tulsa I would even give you a hand. Make sure you add a cutoff valve to the supply side. Use a ball valve, not a gate valve, when you absolutely have to turn the water off is when a gate valve will fail. [/QUOTE]
