I have a hose nozzle that is sweated onto 1/2" pipe and I'm trying to replace it but I can't get it off. I've tried heating the thing and applying some torque, but it won't budge. I've been using a propane torch and I "think" I'm getting it hot enough (perhaps too hot) but is it worth trying a MAPP gas torch to get it hotter quicker?? There are only about 2 inches of pipe sticking out of the house so I'm worried about getting it too hot and melting or burning something inside the wall.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks so much.
