There is a commercially made coupling that fits inside of 1/2" copper tube.
You will not find it at most big box stores, probably at a plumbing supply
house, they are hard to find.
I had used one in the past but cannot remember where I got it.
You may be able to locate some 1/2" outside diameter copper tube that will
just fit inside a 1/2 inside diameter copper plumbing pipe. A little
soldering and you are back in business without tearing apart any walls.
