Old Solder
I'll admit it... I've never soldered anything in my life. So, to
replace a corroded, leaky copper elbow joint, my father-in-law instructed me to heat the pipe, pull off the old joint, then replace it... after proper preparation, of course. The problem is that I heated the old elbow, but nothing happened. I heated the pipe & the elbow... nothing. Couldn't get it off. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I dread the cost of having a plumber do what seems to be a simple replacement. |
