Re: [VAC] Plumber Hell



Bob, since it is swelled out you might be able to sweat a piece of new copper 
tubing into the end of your old tubing so you would have the right size 
tubing to attach to your new faucet.  A tool is made to swage tubing larger 
so another piece will fit in without a coupler.  In your case since the 
freezing stretched it larger you might get lucky.  In any case I am sure a 
new piece of the right size tubing could be attached to your old tubing via 
soldering.  Be sure and clean the inside of the old tubing and the outside of 
the new tubing and use flux.
