@dictatordave @PNS he doesn't need to cut the pipe back, this is obviously a stopgap matter because he can't get to the main valve I guess. He's decommissioned that bath tub for now. Said something about working on a furnace today so I bet his next project will be shutting off the main, getting a torch, & either replacing that elbow or resoldering it because it broke loose due to water hammer action.
