I'm demoing a bathroom and converting to a hallway. The sink was right in the middle of my new doorway on a load bearing wall. The supply line, 1/2" galvanized pipe ran into wall and down into slab. I have chipped away at concrete down about 2" and want to jackhammer back to the main line but it's running under the wall about 3' to main supply. I need to keep water flowing to another bathroom beyond this one. My question is, is there a compression fitting I can use that would be dependable or do I need to thread the pipe where I cut it below concrete? I've heard compression fittings are not recommended for galvanized pipe. Any help would be appreciated as I need to move on with the project. Thanks
