  • Repairing ANGLE VALVE(?) The fills toilet tank - Solider vs Compressing

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 2 12:24:12 2016
    Solider vs Compressing fitting?
    Current the valve is >30 years old and leaking at the steam. I am not
    sure if I can just change out a waster or not. The valve is currently
    soldired to the copper pipe. Is one way better then the an other? I
    would like to buy a good valve, one that would last at least another
    30 but I don't know if the quality matters. Also, there is a hard
    metal pipe that feeds the toliet tank. I am thinking about replacing
    this with a flex pipe? Good idea or not?
    I'm don't have a lot of experience with soldiering but I know the
    basics. So, is one way better then the other?
