how to swet copper heating pipes next to a wall without starting a house fire????????

Answer:

all wheel drive means all wheels are driving ALL the time. 4WD means you can switch it from 2WD to 4WD your GMC is 4WD
Go to the hardware store and pick up some heatproof batting. Use it between the flame and the wall. Make sure your pipes are empty (dry), clean and fluxed. Steam, dirt and a bad solder pull can make a pipe weld a pain to fix.
Well, try putting a fire proof material between the pipe and the wall. They make different fire blankets that could be used. You may also be able to use a piece of concrete backer board. If you can't figure it out, you can always call a plumber to get this fitting.
Get some foil covered insulation board to put between the pipe and wall. Keep some water and a wet towel nearby in case you have a problem. After you are done, wipe down the solder joint and piple with wet towel to make sure there are no hot spots.
