Robert, you are a life saver. I had all soldered joints behind a tub wall with
only 7" access width. The copper coming up from the lower level had a 20
degree bend so I cut it in the straightest looking area. The compression nut
or sleeve would not go on. I saw your post and tried it and it was perfectly
round again!!!! I had the whole building water off and this fitting was my
shut off taps. Thank you so much for this post.
