Installation overview (simple, reliable steps)

1. Shut off water and drain the line where the repair will be made.
2. Cut out the damaged section and deburr the copper ends for a clean, square fit.
3. Clean and flux the pipe ends to prepare for soldering.
4. Position the NIBCO repair coupling so both ends insert fully into the sleeves.
5. Apply heat evenly with a torch and solder the joint on both ends until sealed.
