Depending on how long its aged, then might be good to at least anneal with a
torch prior..copper is the shits for malleability where it's first been
severely cold worked then let sat for some extended time period.
Otherwise, a significant risk of cracking / splitting etc and subsequent
leak either immediately or at some point in the future...esp if theres any
vibration in the assy.
