How suspectiable is copper to leaking once soldered on.
For bathrooms and such, I generally solder on a cast female pipe stub flush with the tiled wall. Then a chrome nipple, angle stop, etc.
However, when putting on the nipple, I don't get to put a wrench on the female fitting to *support* the fitting as I am tightening the nipple down...any issues I should be concerened about if a copper fitting was to go leak ?
Knock on wood this has not happened to me yet...but I'm curious is this a issue to be concerened of.
