Re: Kitchen Faucet broken copper line
Author: bernabeu (SC) it is possible but VERY VERY labor and time intensive disassembly of faucet cutting tube and solder/braze couplings to re-extend copper tube w/o melting plastic part(s) imo: unless faucet was very expensive (over $200) you are SOL unless you can DIY ============================================== "Measure Twice & Cut Once" - Retired U.A.

Author: packy (MA) it is a close call. there might be enough room to cut that tubing and slip on a 3/8 compression coupling ?? it is not the hot nor cold so it is not under a lot of constant pressure.

Author: North Carolina Plumber (NC) I'd cut the stub with a cut off wheel on a roto tool and use a sweat coupling to make the repair.
