I was told I need to either use a flare fitting to make the repair or silver solder all the fittings. What method would you recommend for a home owner? 24 Jul 2006 at 10:26 pm #297314 PaidpiperParticipant If it is copper tube I would recommend a CTS cmpression Ftg unless you have access to a 1″ flaring tool.
