Default Soldering in tight spaces

BTW, if you don't want to solder the tee's you can use compression fittings
on hard copper. They're just more expensive than sweat-type fittings.

It looks doable, but if it were me, I'd be using something as a heat
shield to protect the wood from starting a fire, or doing damage to the
wiring. Either use thin sheet metal of some sort, or possibly heavy duty
aluminum foil.

Hi,

In the followling picture, you are looking up at an overhead soffit
where I have to insert tees in the 1/2" copper lines running across
the picture.

Is it doable or is just too tight to undertake given all the
electrical wires, the heater lines and the gas line?

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron
