Brazing is a process used to join a gap in piping or other metal parts. It is technically impossible to do on only one end, since the way it works requires two sides to work in.
Tried to answer this last night and was edited out. I'll try again While you can braze a copper pipe end, you usually don't. You solder it. Use whatever type of fitting on the end that you need. If you are just stopping the pipe, use a cap. Clean both the pipe the the inside of the cap with steel wool or fine sandpaper. Apply a coating of flux to each surface where they overlap and put the cap on the pipe. Heat one side of the cap with a propane torch and hold the solder on the opposite side. When the cap get hot enough to melt the solder, it will draw the liquid solder around the pipe to the flame. Once it does that, remove the flame and allow it to cool before messing with it. That's all there is to it. You could braze the cap to the pipe, but that would only connect the edge of the cap where it meets the pipe. The brazing rod would not melt between the whole cap as solder does. If absolutely had to, you could crimp the end together and braze the joint. That's the last resort.

What copper tube is available when using the grooved method of joining?
Grooved method? Threads on the end of the pipe? There is no tube or pipe in copper with threads. You can end a copper pipe with a connection that is threaded to accept steel pipe.

Can you solder a hole in a pipe?
Copper you can. Treat it as you would any other connection, clean the area, surface and hole, get the moisture out and solder a patch over it. Small hole, you can just use solder or you can cut a small piece of pipe in half, clean and flux it and put it over the hole. Steel pipe, you can braze over the hole, same basic process as soldering, clean and fill with braze.

How can I effectively braze a copper pipe for a secure and durable connection?
To effectively braze a copper pipe for a secure and durable connection, follow these steps: Clean the pipe and fittings thoroughly to remove any dirt, grease, or oxidation. Apply flux to the cleaned surfaces to prevent oxidation during the brazing process. Heat the joint evenly with a torch until it reaches the brazing temperature. Apply the brazing rod to the joint, allowing it to flow into the gap by capillary action. Allow the joint to cool naturally to ensure a strong bond. Inspect the joint for any leaks or imperfections before using the pipe.
