<DIV>it’s not out of round, Dave. I mic’d it all the way around... and it
was within .001 . Someone mentioned freezing... this pipe did freeze
and burst in the past. but the break was a foot above where I’m taking
measurements. That whole foot was removed. I guess it could have
expanded the whole section above the floor some. And the section
removed is the same diameter as what I’m looking at now so that might be a
clue.. If my old back and knees will allow it, I’m going into the crawl
space on the other end of the line and check sizes there, gotta do it anyway to
turn it back on eventually. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I talked to an old plumber as suggested (well, he’s as old as
me...70’s) and he suggested reaming/swaging the tube and insert a short section
of standard 3/4 straight pipe and solder it in well. That would get me
back to standard sizes. I think I’m gonna try that tomorrow.
The fittings I’m using came from Home Depot/Lowes but I also checked some older
fittings and they were the same measurements... More to come !</DIV>

<DIV>When we built my house/shop 25 years ago I had the plumber install a 3/4”
water line to the shop and cap it off. I was going to put in the sink
and the outside faucet when I got time. Well, this week I got
time</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I cut the cap off and test fitted a 3/4” Tee to start dry fitting the
plumbing for sink/faucet. The Tee wouldn’t fit on the tubing. I
cleaned it well but the Tee was still too small to fit over the tubing.
It looks like he used coiled tubing, or at least that’s what’s coming up thru
the concrete. </DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV> </DIV>Is it out of round? That’s a common problem with soft
tube. Plumbers have rerounding tools for the problem.
