Hi, Tony is giving in MHO very good answers to the chat board. Thanks, Tony!
Compression fittings do work. It is my understanding that in some European countries - that's all that is used. I have to admit to being a journeyman plumber in WA state and not knowing whether or not it is code. I always find a way to solder the darn thing... Call your local plumbing inspector - it would vary from state to state - really from county to county here. Hill
: 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.
