In your picture the copper looks as if it has been overheated which is normal when copper joints are brazed. The copper turns that ugly shade of red/purple. Depending on the the type of solder used, you could have broken the connection when the tubing twisted and kinked. You will never break a brazed joint. Also that is not a flange on the end of the copper tubing, It is a reducer, unless someone " jerry rigged" the connection. You will be surprised what people do in a pinch. | |
