What is the difference between a half coupling and a full coupling?
half coupling used to take branch from header ie: 2" header to 3/4' branch. where full coupling used to connect to straight pipe. ie: 2" to 2" pipe connection.
What is the right connection fitting for a 2 inch PVC shower drain and trap to a 2 inch copper drain pipe?
A fernco or rubber fitting. This made of rubber and had hose clamps on it. You should ask for assistance at a hardware or plumbing shop for a 2" Plastic X 2" Copper Fernco or rubber coupling.
How can you connect a cut galvanized pipe without threads and a PVC pipe?

How do you untighten a pipe union?
A pipe union is a three piece fitting with a big nut in the center. Loosen the big nut and the joined pipes will separate. Are you sure you don't mean a coupling? A coupling is a one piece tube with female threads all the way through it. These are trickier to untighten because by loosening one side of the fitting, you'll be tightening the other side, which will usually bottom out the fitting on the side that's being tightened before the side that's being loosened comes out of the fitting. In short, the way to untighten a coupling is by either cutting the pipe, spinning the coupling and replacing things as needed OR by spinning the entire run of pipe...

What is pipe grooving?
Pipe grooved at end of pipe with grooving machine. Butt grooved pipe or fitting together and slip rubber seal onto end of each grooved joint, apply light coating of grease made for grooved piping on rubber seal. Coat split coupling for joint with grease also and put coupling around joint and clamp together tightly.
When connecting Rubber couplings for 2copper drain pipe should there be a bulge in the rubber between the two clamps at completion?
If the rubber coupling is bigger than the pipe, then it is going to bulge in the middle. This shouldn't be a problem. As long as the clamp is tight it shouldn't leak.
How do you repair a 4 inch ABS building drain with out taking apart the whole system?
Depends on what needs to be fixed. Cut out a section, use a regular coupling on one end and a rubber one on the other end. The rubber one slides over the pipe, position it to match the old pipe and slide it over the cut. It is held in place with hose clamps. Depending on where the break is, there may be enough play in the pipe to push the old pipe back and use a regular coupling on both ends. If it is just a hole, there is a saddle clamp or patch that is like a section of pipe cut lengthwise and is held in place with 2 U bolts. Rubber coupling is called a FERNCO coupling in case you were wondering.
