Sorry if this add is redundant.. I"m new here.
I need someone to sweatfit about 6 copper fittings on an easily accessed hot water tank. I'll do everything but sweet the pips. I"m in the Del Mar area and will pay $50.Need done Oct 4 thru 8th.

Thanks

Use shark bite fittings. No pipe sweating required

[MrFlorida]

Sharkbite(HomeDepot) or Alligator fittings( Lowe's) No sweating needed, work really good.

No self respecting plumber sweats/solders these days.
Push and click is way to go.
Pipe fitting/jointing today is a doddle.

Going to need a lot more than $50. At least 50 per pipe, and will have to take apart and redo all fittings. Have to make sure it’s done correctly!

50.00 don’t start the truck anymore!

If you'll do everything but sweat the popping might as well go shark bite fittings. The approximate price per fitting is about $8.00. I gave all my acetylene bottles and torch to my son. You will need a butane torch kit, solder, steel or brass wool for cleaning and flux it would cost me minimum $50 for set up and materials not counting time, travel. Suggest you call a plumbing company sorry can't help.

Thank you for your response

I believe I had previously suggested compression fittings, I have had very good luck with these, and generally use them as the last fitting even if I am installing sweat fittings. I have not used any of the mentioned press on or twist on fittings.
