Thanks for all the advice - Mapp, wet rag, heat sink. I e-mailed the
valve manufacturer and they said to use nothing but propane and to heat
the pipe and not the fitting. That didn't sound right.


It works, though. That's what I do, warm the fitting,
and then heat the pipe. YOu can't spend a lot of
time screwing around with it once you start,
though.
