Thank you all for your great advice. I'm now sufficiently educated to go
ahead with this project. grin
There definitely is enough play in the pipes to enable the removal and
installation of a new "T".

Greetings all;

My brother-in-law just bought a approximately 30-year-old house. Had a
number of plumbing problems I was able to fix. However, a leaking "T"
joint in standard half-inch copper pipe has resisted all my attempts at
repair. I have done the typical intensive sanding, fluxing and
re-soldering several times with no success. This had always worked for me
in the past. All pipes, etc. look in good shape.

Any other suggestions as to how to stop this leak without having to
soldering another "T" and corresponding connectors into its place. Thanks.

Bill
