For my big boiler that I'm building I have to cut 10' sections of 5/8" OD copper tubing, fill them with sand and coil them. Then get the sand out and connect them back together.
My question is, How do I connect them? With a compression fitting, or a 45 degree copper fitting which I solder together. I have solder that melts at 430F, its the highest temp I could find. I just dont know what to do, solder or compression fitting. Other suggestions are welcome
