How do I fix leaking cold water copper pipe without soldering it?

How do I fix leaking cold water copper pipe without soldering it? Right now the rate of leaking is just dripping every minute

Answer:

first, it's called either sweating the joint or brazing. 2. i have gotten used to useing a little piece of equipemnt you can find at home depot called a shark bite. it;s an easy on, easy off jiont no torch.
there are absolutelly no archaeological finding to back up sorty of the great war that happned in Ameria. and genetics prove the book of Mormon is fake .Native American Idian have no Jewish DNA in themFACT
Nothing proves the Book of Mormon true as it does not agree with absolute reality and the Bible.
If you know exactly where the leak is (hole) you can take a piece of rubber hose about an inch long and split it length wise then spread it apart so that you can get it over the pipe. Then using a hose clamp, clamp the rubber hose tightly around the pipe. I've used this method and it works.
If you want a quick fix that will last use marine silicone, get it at boat stores it works like a charm. Its a pretty good price too it is meant to withstand water pressure. If they dont have marine silicone at the boat store take a plastic tube slice one side and fit it around the copper piping with the crack, next melt it slowly onto the pipe this should work. If your into more expensive stuff weld it, but make sure the temperature isnt too high just enough or it will melt the copper pipe and also make sure your using a metal that melts at lower heats definetaly not iron. Happy fixing! If you have any more questions email me!
