Hi everyone


I dont know what to do with a leaking pipe. Its a soldered joint, but
theres no way to drain it, so I cant think how to unsolder it. Both
feed and tap are at least 2' upwards of the bad joint. Drilling a tiny
hole in the Cu then solder patching it, am not convinced the solder
would be strong enough.

Also the access space is tight and theres a plastic waste pipe there
too, so I wont get free play with the blow j. Oh, and a plastic bath
too.

And of course the pipe looks somewhat corroded, so cutting the tee then
rejoining with compression is likely to fail. Such joy. Any hints
apprecated! Well, those relating to pipes.

You say you cant drain it, can you turn the water off to it?

If so, can you then cut offending joint out, then use one of these?
