    Connecting copper to brass
    I'm remodelling my bathroom and need to connect 1/2" copper to 1" brass pipe, all the brass connections are threaded if I cut a section away for a compression fitting there is not enough 'play' to slide the pipe into the fitting any suggestions.. thanks Andy

    Teflon tape the threads and you will be able to solder a 1/2" copper pipe to the other end. Good luck, Tom
