Is it possible to install compression valves onto existing non-pullable copper pipe WHILE designing-in a means of being able to replace the whole valves should they fail?
Hello, I have existing 22mm copper pipe that needs a small section cutout to install a compression isolation valve, pressure reducing valve and solder slip coupler to rejoin. Note, with the section removed, there is no pipe movement in any direction. After installing in that way, removal of that section again becomes impossible as there will be no more room to cut back the pipe and no movement to pull the pipe out of the compression fittings should the valves need replacing. Can you think of ways/ plumbing parts to build this installation so that it is removable please?
Note, I thought of using 22mm female solder x 3/4" BSP parallel thread union couplings either side of the section however there is not enough spare pipe length left to do so.
