Thanks for your help. I couldnt figure out how to follow-up your message, so am posting a new one. We have a temporary (we hope) patch on, and will get the slip couplings tomorrow (nothing is open today) and do it your way. One more question . . . when soldering the joints, I can only get to part of the pipe. Will the solder wire run around and seal the part of the seam I cant reach?

Make sure the copper pipe and fitting is clean. Flux all the wat around the pipe. By heating as much of the pipe and fitting evenly as you can reach it will run all the way around. One mistake people make is overheating the pipe. Good luck.
