The Op had soldered a pipe in one end, look at post #7

Then there is no need to ask if he can do something that he has already done. He surely knows the answer already.

The OP had soldered one end and was enquiring about a way forward to solder the other end, so asked.

Been a while since I have been able to get this ready as needed to plaster the wall the other side, which also needed tons of bonding to get it Plumb!

Is the below OK, only concerns I have is t is right next to the stud in the middle, pipes will have a bit of foam or something to seperate them. All very tight working space for someone who hasn't done much soldering! Lol

Any ideas fellas?

Presolder where you can; hoover up the shavings, damp down with a plant spray bottle, have a wet towel to hand.

Have fun! And spray your scorched areas again and check when you're done.

Cut the pipes either side of the tee, move the tee and pipe stubs and solder it up including the piece going through the wall. Put back in place and reconnect the pipe stubs to the rest of the system with straight connectors. Looks as if you'll have enough movement to avoid needing slip couplers.

Don't leave those copper pipes laying directly on the hardcore/concrete. Put them in pipe insulation/conduit (like the plastic ones to the right)
You'll be at risk of erosion from thermal cycling if you do.

Yes will hoover up shavings, very flammable!
Good idea with the spray bottle. Will use that. Just hope it all dont leak. Starting to think that push fit would have been easier! lol

Is that just because the T is very close to the stud? Good idea though, but not sure it's going to be easy fitting the stubs back through the hole with the pipe going through the wall soldered aswell?

Oh yes definitely, was planning to tape them up before burying them. or could just use the same conduit

Are the fittings on those copper pipes just dry fitted awaiting soldering ? Most of them look like dry joints ??
