We disconnected an old claw foot tub, refinished it, and now wish to
hook it back up to its original copper piping, with cut off valves if
possible. We have found that the original pipes
were two different sizes.
Told that it is not made in those odd sizes anymore. Pressure couplings
are not quite right, some leaking occuring. Tried flange tool, but as this
is old copper, did not work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The house is between 75- nearly 100 years old. Pipes are branched off
from the wall and bent up to the old tub. Really need to get it all back
together again.
Thanks for any and all help.
