Water plumbing your house. What are the prose and cons on copper pipe and galvanizes pipe.?
try applying some heat to the fitting being careful not to loosen any surrounding joints.This will cause the coper to expand and it should come right off with a little force on the wrench
read and digest the first three answers,,,,,,, they ALL, GIVE GOOD ADVICE.
Late fall and early spring are terriffic times to run. It can be difficult to run when it's the middle of summer because of the heat, and who'd be crazy enough to try to run outside in the middle of January? Freezing cold, air stinging your throat, tight muscles. NO! Okay, so mid-late fall is great. Cool, but not too cold. Same with early-mid spring.
Hello TBT.FSU91. Actually, there is a plumbers trick to this. You need to use 2 wrenches at the same time. One wrench goes on the fitting you are trying to remove, and the other will be placed on the threaded male end soldered to the copper pipe. You turn the first wrench while at the same time countering its torque by applying pressure to the other wrench in the opposite direction. Keep in mind you are just using that second wrench to offset the turning effort of the first. This applies all the force at only the 2 fittings, and keeps the pipes below from taking any strain. I hope this helps, homedepotnewf. .
