Well, I have just completed my first job, installing soldered shutoffs in
two water lines lines so that I can renovate my powder room. I had no
leaks when I turned the water back on. My question is this, if it is
holding now, how confident could I feel about the job?


Done properly it should last forever. It is extremely rare that a fitting
will break or leak after time, but I've seen it happen, both in industrial
settings. .
