The jury is still out on this issue between crimping and soldering copper pipes. According to many plumbing experts, soldering does give your pipes a long-term, corrosion-free alternative to crimping: but it can be more complex and require a professional.I think that sweat copper fittings which are properly installed will outlast press fittings. Lots of bad installs both ways, probably more bad sweat connections. However, if you are having trouble with leaking after you crimp, that could indicate you aren't using the right tool or materials to seal your plumbing. The main objective here is to get your copper pipes connected and secure. Crimping will use other copper crimps/connectors for your two or more pipes: which should be easy for any skill set. For example, you may need to crimp a copper pipe or various pipes from your sink to the main water line. The same goes for your shower, tub, pipes in the kitchen, and even the toilet. Copper is a popular plumbing material, as it ishighly corrosion-resistant in most underground environments. So, you will see copper pipes and fittings a lot when building or renovating your home.
