Crimp in Copper Pipe
Plumbers, how bad is this crimp in a 1/2" hot water pipe?
The pics aren't great but there center of the crimp is smooth and not a sharp angle. Do I need to cut it out an solder in a fix? Or can I leave it as is?

No problem, leave it be. It will not affect flow or strength. I can't tell if it's L or M copper. Hopefully it's L. M is lighter, but I still do not think there is a problem. I'd leave it.
Yes, I am a plumber.

I'm not a plumber, only a lowly general contractor. Leave it as is.
