The jury is still out on this issue between crimping and soldering copper pipes. According to many plumbing experts, soldering does give your pipes a long-term, corrosion-free alternative to crimping: but it can be more complex and require a professional.For example, you may need to crimp a copper pipe or various pipes from your sink to the main water line. The same goes for your shower, tub, pipes in the kitchen, and even the toilet.

Additionally, some online crimpers chose to "give fittings that hang down or a longer run upwards a crimp and quarter turn" and then solder their pipes together.Unlike soldering, you don't need a torch or a deep pipe cleaning to crimp. With that said, you might prefer the promised permanent result from soldering.
