Getting the parts together to make an all copper CFC..
The basic jist of it's construction is a 'flat' back and forth arrangement of straight sections of 1/2 copper tube, encased in straight sections of 3/4" copper tubing...
At each end of each leg, there is to be a 3/4"x1/2"x1/2" tee..
The 1/2" is to slide 'through' the 1/2" and 3/4" sweat collars that are on opposite ends of the tee..
I just noticed that the tees I bought have 'stops' on the half inch sweat fitting that I need to slide the 1/2 inch tubing 'through'..
So, I know that some of you have done similar fabrications where you slide a 1/2" copper tube all the way through these fittings...
So my question is, did you have to drill out these sweat fittings to remove the stop, or did you find tees that did not have the stop integrated into the fitting?
If you removed the stop, how did you do it? And if you found fittings without stops, where did you get them?
Gracias...
