| This topic is available here on The Repair-Place forum | The framer has put a nail through a copper water line (actually three nails through three pipes) It is new construction, mono-lithic concrete slab ant the nails are 3/4 inch above the top of the slab.
my concern is with a solder repair that close to the slab ,wont the slab wick the torch heat away to fast to provide a good solder joint. or should some concrete be broken out to expose more pipe for better heat transfer and soldering? | |
