I've just purchased an older home that has 1/2" galvanized water line coming through the foundation in the basement. It sticks in there about 14" before it elbows up. It has no main service valve. It is not physically feasible to cut this pipe back and re-thread it due to space limitations. My question is this. Is there such a thing as some sort of compression fitting that will work on 1/2" galv pipe? Or any other solution?
thanks,
