For 1/2" to 1 1/4" copper pipe fittings.

Possible to desolder *and* be able to re-use them??
Worth the trouble for the various fittings, T's, unions, etc? 1 1/4
unions
are expensive!



Yes, no, maybe, and it depends. Mostly, if you heat it up, and give it a
good sling, the liquid solder will fly off and give you a nice clean piece.
If they are bent at all, they can be cranky. Depending on the value of the
piece, and the criticality of the application you have to be the one to
decide to reuse or toss. For noncritical stuff, though, they can be reused
easily.
