Is there a way to join copper tubing for the house's plumbing without using
lead solder?



TIG?

Yes.

In fact you can't buy solder that has lead in it for house pluming.

It has high tin content. Have some - don't know if the label still exists.

This house is 16 years old and it was built with that kind of solder.
