what racerx said.
Exterior wall, make sure you have a decent amount of heat pads or asbestos shingles. And an extinguisher, jic. And an assistant if at all possible.
If you haven't pipe soldered in a while, take 15 to practice outside the project.
I'd stick to copper K (also hopefully US made).
I don't care what they say, Homies and Lowes K is not the same as a quality pipe from a good supply house.
I think of pex for heating only. PVC drains OK.
Flexi SS supply lines as bernie showed.
Iron drains can be cut and extended with a rubber coupler to PVC.
I will drop the coin on these kind of projects as I don't want a repeat issue, especially inside a wall.
Someone in the house asked me "to just do it fast and not think about it". I obliged and did it again 3 years later.
That someone was scarce for a week after my loud potty mouth ended.
