Hi,

I am wondering how "safe and effective" is to use compression method
instead of soldering for joint of copper pipe and fittings? I am not
comfortable with soldering, but not sure using compression is
"water-tight enough" for joint or not, thx.


I'm a fan of solder, but compression has a place. Mostly used for attaching
faucets and toilets to the main line. If I was plumbing a new house today,
I'd use Pex tubing.
