Hi

No mention of how much pipe was available to work on.
I did notice it is a bit leaky . Water needs to be still for an effective freeze.

If you are prepared for a problem then it's not too much of a challenge.
For example:

If it's 15mm copper have a speedfit cap to put on if it lets go.

Experience rather than bravery perhaps.

Perhaps.

How is a speedfit cap going to fit over copper pipe with an olive on the end of it?

Or perhaps not.

I only say the above because when freezing before the stop**** with the water boards stop**** inoperable if something goes wrong it is likely to go wrong big style with water all around or a house that has no water.

I know what you are saying but is it really worth the risk for a few drops of water for a couple of weeks or in most cases 2 or 3 days?
