What size couple old brass

Does Sharkbite even make a fitting that goes over Pipe? Mad Dog

it is ips, you have to thread it or use a dresser coupling or megapress

a 7/8 acr fitting would probably slip over it and yo could sweat it.

edit:

er, maybe not, i was thinking 3/4 hard copper. ips is going to be a bigger od. you could probably swedge something to fit with the right tools

the sharkbite is copper pipe size, not ips right? you can measure the od. megapress will fot ips.

here are the sizes:

if it is 3/4" ips the od should be about 1.05". there were also some local brass pipe standards, i think the most common one was used mostly in Boston.

it looks like there is a sharkbite designed for pvc that is ips but the outside might not be smooth enough for it to seal.

you could thread it but old brass tends to become brittle so it might crack if you try to do it with a die. a thread mill could probably do it but those aren't exactly portable.

Boy that would be confusing in a dark awkward with those wrench flats.
