What are the purpose of threaded connections that people sweat onto copper?
Why not just sweat whatever it is directly on?
Is it to make things in the middle of copper runs easier to replace?
For example, can I just unscrew my pressure regulator from the middle of a run by unscrewing the threaded connections on each side of it?
Could you not just unsweat the connections on each side of it, and pull it out, if it didn’t have the threaded connections?
