How can I solder a pipe that has a bit of water in it?
I'm trying to insert a 6" section of 3/4" copper tubing in a heating
pipe that runs through a channel in my house slab. I have the zone disabled, the water into the boiler turned off, the drain valve on that zone open and a spigot used to release air and facilitate draining open. But there is a constant drop of water in one side of the pipe that I intend to solder. I know I can't solder a wet pipe. I'm reluctant to try the old bread trick. Is there any kind of "solder", maybe epoxy that will work with the wet pipe? Suppose I fail in the repair attempt (this is the third time!). Is there some sort of clamp that will seal off the leaking joint? TIA. |
