I have removed a wet bar to open our space, currently I have a hole through the slab about 12″ across and 10″ deep with the copper fittings soldered together. How should I fill in the hole and protect the copper pipes??

Tom: With copper fittings soldered together, how do I fill the hole to protect the pipes? I don’t know if he needs the pipes but if you’re going to fill the hole and the pipes are penetrating through, then what you do is you wrap it with a lot of duct tape, I mean pretty thick, about an eighth of an inch thick on duct tape and go ahead and pour the concrete. You don’t want the concrete touching the copper.
