After looking at my responce, there may be more to this repair than I first thought. If after cutting the split out of the pipe, if you can't pull the two cut ends close enough together, you may need two compression fittings and a small piece of 1/2 copper to put between the compression fittings to hook it up.

If you are not up to soldering, get a compression fitting and after cutting the split out, join it back together with the compression fitting. ----- Original Message ----- From: Andy LaPointe To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2007 16:03 Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Broken pipe... Hi it's me again, I noticed that our copper water pipe that is 1/2 inch and goes to the water spicket for the garden hose has a split of about 1 and 1/2 inch long. I cut the split off with a pipe cutter. Now, I have never fixed a broken pipe before and sorry to say that I don't know how to fix it. What is the easiest way? The split is too large for a shark bite that I bought at a home depot. Everyone there said that using 2 hose clamps with a half inch reinforced hose is not a good idea,. I thought that it would buy me some time..
