it=E2=80=99s not out of round, Dave. I mic=E2=80=99d 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=E2=80=99m 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=E2=80=99m looking =
at now so that might be a clue.. If my old back and knees will allow =
it, I=E2=80=99m 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. =
=20
I talked to an old plumber as suggested (well, he=E2=80=99s as old as =
me...70=E2=80=99s) 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=E2=80=99m gonna try =
that tomorrow. The fittings I=E2=80=99m using came from Home =
Depot/Lowes but I also checked some older fittings and they were the =
same measurements... More to come !
