Its a minor leak in a hot water side on a hall way shower. I‘m trying to avoid having to cut the wall on the back side in order to solder a new fitting or re-soldering. I figure I can ask those professional plummers out there.
Not that big of a deal.the tire is still the same diameter only the width of the winter tire is thinner. you'll be fine.
It shouldn't make much of a difference. the thing that would be affected the most would be the difference in your speedo. I dont think the brakes will be affected.
If you are talking permanent the answer is no. You can't solder if water is in there. If you just want to stop the leak temporarily and re-fix it if the temporary develops a leak - there are some epoxies made for that kind of service They will mix into a putty that can be put onto a drippy pipe.
There is this new fitting out there that I like using and it's not a spray, glue or tape. It is a copper fitting that comes in Tee, 90's, 45's and couplings and it's called shark bite. The only thing you have to do is cut the bad fitting out and push the shark bite in on one side and then the other. No leaks. You can also use compression fitting if you can not find any shark bites. Good Luck
At Loews in the plumbing they sell a copper epoxy. Works great.
