Your 100% correct plumber John I dont “Fallow” code and nope I dont do it the “corret” I leave that to the HIGHLY professionals like YOU.
About the use of a coupling have you though about the possibility of using a brazing rod to seal this hole as this “corret” way is stronger ten the base metal itself having a tensile strenth of over 87,000 PSI and that is in the AWS Code and it is “Correct” repair in most model codes.
Plumber John did you ever take a written test?
PS I feel so sorry Jacks parents only having a Still born kid.
