[quote:Dimzin:MV8yNDAzNzE1XzQxMTg0NjU2XzlGOUJDQUU2] Personally I'd rather do it myself. Copper is REALLLLY easy to work with. Clean/scratch ALL joints/fittings, use lots of flux wherever you want solder to stay and a good torch (M.A.P. gas) over propane. If your job is big enough it'd be worthwhile to invest in the basic tools (pipe cutter, scratch brushes and cloth, torch, channel lock pliers-2 pair and a small selection of your common fittings) Great to have on hand for emergency repairs. If you've don't have the time/confidence and have the $$ call a (reputable) plumber. If I remember correctly, the guy I worked for 20 years ago charged like $10.00 each for every installed fitting. (Not very reputable or so I thought) I'd always use less parts on invoice than I actually used.:oops: my $0.02 C-Ya [/quote]

I'm trying to get someone to sweat some copper pipe for me. Out of these two trades, who would be better at such a job?
