[Shop-talk] Plumbing help requested

[Thomas Coradeschi]

I would keep it simple. Cut both copper lines and the PVC line and rebuild it all. You’re looking at maybe 20 bucks worth of material, and working with new will be infinitely easier than trying to make the old stuff work, worrying about heat damaging the PVC and all the rest.

Paid for the leakfinder to come locate it for me and commenced to dig thru the concrete.  I know they have come a long way with the sharkbite type fittings.  Any recommendations for a high reliability repair to connect the 3/4 pvc supply to the 3/4 and 1/2 copper coming out of the slab?
