3/4 compression coupling.

I do some plumbing repair on my own property but have trouble soldering wet pipe in a crawl space. I saw these 3/4 copper and brass compression fittings at lowes and thought these would be nice for me for capping off or breaking into a line. I familiar with compression on stops etc. and i've used galvy dresser couplings for emergency repairs on galvinized pipe.. Are these compression fittings something a respectable plumber would use and leave?? Thanks for all the help I received on this forum. HS.

One low-tech solution for making a soldered connection in a spot where water is an issue, is to use a union. That way, the steam from any remaining water can freely escape, and the soldering can proceed more easily.

another water removal trick

I always have vinyl tubing with Me to suck out or siphon water . A wet vac with duck tape to tubing does a great job

Thanks, I like that idea. The union too. I'm witing this all down.

A good idea...also a ball valve, if the flow is too heavy...put a Jetsweat through it.
