: I have a section of bad pipe in a ceiling,can I use brass compression couplings to make the connections when I replace the copper pipe.
you can use comp. fittings to cure your problem. however i would not. this is just asking for problems.comp. fittings as a rule should only be used in permantly exposed areas because they have a habbit of leaking.i would cosult a plumber from your area and have the fittings soldered or if your inclined solder the fittings yourself. if you use comp. fittings i promise you in the near future you will wish you had not.
