I have a 22mm to 22mm to 15mm end feed Tee.
I want to rotate the 15mm pipe, which has a close fitting elbow connected.
The 22mm connections will remain untouched.
I can't see how I can localise the heat to just the 15mm connection, and I suspect the 22mm's will get hot and the solder momentarily melt.
I have reheated fittings before, but split the fittings apart, cleaned and refluxed.
I'm not sure if I have room to pull the fittings apart.
Any suggestions, I will clean around the matings, and apply flux, should I attempt to melt the solder in the 22mm connections and feed a little solder in, and then just leave them to cool after I have rotated the 15mm fitting. Or should I try keep heat from the rest of the fitting to a minimum.
