If you had to access that 1/2" 90' elbow from behind the wall. About how big of area should I cut... stud to stud? Also what do I do about that 2x4 that the elbow is attached to? Any help is greatly apreciated.
: I had narrowed down the leak to the shower arm. I thought it would be at the joint where the chrome arm connects to the 1/2" female fitting inside the wall. Upon cutting around the drywall where the stubout comes out of, I see the leak is at the soldered joint between that 1/2" fitting and the copper pipe inside the wall. : It is very tight, I do have access to the wall behind. But with the backer board the fitting is screwed too... I dont trust my soldering skills. : What is the way to go about fixing this?? Is soldering the only fix?
