Keep the outside valve open so that any water remaining in the pipe can expand without causing the pipe to break. Drain water from swimming pool and water sprinkler supply lines following manufacturer’s or installer’s directions. Antifreeze is environmentally harmful, and is dangerous to humans, pets, wildlife, and landscaping. In severe cold weather, let cold water drip from faucets served by exposed pipes. The cold water is still above freezing and will help prevent the pipe from freezing.

Compression fittings use a soft metal or thermoplastic ring (the compression ring or “ferrule”) which is squeezed onto the pipe and into the fitting by a compression nut. The soft metal conforms to the surface of the tubing and the fitting, and creates a seal. Compression connections do not typically have the long life that sweat connections offer, but are advantageous in many cases because they are easy to make using basic tools.

Both are prone to rust and corrosion over time and have been swapped for copper or plastic pipes in residential plumbing repairs. A rigid copper pipe is typically used for water supply lines, whereas flexible copper pipes are used in tight spaces where the malleable copper can bend. Soft copper tubing can be bent easily to travel around obstacles in the path of the tubing. It can be joined by any of the three methods used for rigid copper, and it is the only type of copper tubing suitable for flare connections.
