I cut the pipe at the hole and solder on a sleeveless coupler.

I’ve been a plumber for almost 40 years and never done this, why, because it is absolute BS and a total waste of time
Cut the pipe and use a straight coupler
That will do a proper job and take a fraction of the time

As a plumber for 30 years, no plumber would do this. I could fix this properly in about the same time it took to watch this video. More than likely less.

There’s 2 1/2 minutes I will never get back

Repair coupling would be just as easy and a more solid repair

[skeltane]

Why not use a file instead of a blade?

I remember seeing a penny soldered onto a punctured copper pipe. That's how my old man fixed it.

Remember when there were no such things as crimp fittings. The old ways are quickly becoming replaced by new ways. Yes soldering is time consuming but if done correctly you will never have to do it again.

Been a plumber 40 years plus😢, never done this for copper but use to do similar on lead pipes using strips of lead

I would cut the line in half and slide a union in between the two halves then solder.

Very good method
As often in real set …. There isn’t room to cut and replace.
Well done

This sort of repair is good for when somebody drills or puts a nail through a copper water or central heating pipe embedded in a wall. If the soldering is up to standard, there is no reason why it shouldn't be considered permanent. With regard the technique, I would have probably tinned the surfaces before apply a bit more flux and then soldering...

The purpose of this video is to show a repair without cutting the pipe . Of course using a coupler is better, but this is thinking outside the box, and true macgyver skill stuff !!!

[chriscurran]

Just put a slip coupler on to much work involved there

[Zzrdemon]

You know it's a pro when they pull out the utility knife all the way to debur the hole!

As fine as this instruction is, I’d have to say the background music is actually what puts this video into the “Extraordinary Productions” category. I’m uncertain who composed the music but I assume he or she is a talent for the ages. Bravo indeed, and thanks for such a marvelous video.

Now that is a really big hole. I probably would use a fitting on it but for small holes I’m just going to braise it in two seconds

[shaystern]

just imagine over 900 views of a craptastic endeavour

[bcask]

Or you could fix it properly. Just a thought.
