I repiped my 1929 house. A friend from work said not to bother with the verticals because all sediment would settle down to the horizontal pipes, but this just didn't seem right. As long as your doing it, do it right. Even dielectric unions can fail over time. Superman is right, soldering isn't hard at all, just get the pipe hot enough and if your trying to solder directly onto the closed piping system be sure to open all your faucets for the heat to escape or you'll never get the solder to suck into the joint. And definitely get the asbestos shield, it looks similar to a potholder and can keep you from burning down the house.HTH
