properly installed - yes
Compression fittings are suitable for DIY projects and situations where soldering is not preferred. However, soldering is generally recommended for a more secure and durable connection in plumbing applications involving copper pipes, especially in high-pressure systems or situations where vibration may be an issue.
No. Compression fittings are NOT for steam pipes
The factory can as they do with their fittings: MIP's and FIP's Otherwise, it is not thick enough to put a thread on the regular copper pipes themselves.
If that's where the freezing occurred and the compression fitting wasn't tight enough.
A flare joint is used on gas fittings and uses a nut and flare fitting to make the connection. This is a dry fit with no joint compound. The copper is soft enough that it compresses with the nut and forms the seal.

Not enough info to answer, need to know what you are hooking to.
DZR fittings are brass fittings. Brass is an alloy made of copper and zinc.Zinc costs less than copper.Therefore, most brass plumbing fittings and valve these days contain too much zinc, not enough copper.The safe zinc content for brass is usually around 15%The problem it creates is called "Dezincification": when a brass alloy contains more than 15% zinc, there is too much zinc to "fit" into the copper matrix (between the copper atoms), therefore the zinc slowly dissolves and leaches out of the part. Visually, you may see a white powder at the surface (zinc oxyde) and very red metal (copper rich brass). The copper rich metal that is left is very porous because it has lost its zinc ! It becomes brittle and weak and brakes eventually.DZR fittings are garanteed to contain proper amounts of zinc.Dezincification is nothing new, except that manufacturers play the numbers game and prefer to occasionnally pay for losses and damages when a part fails rather than sell their stuff at a higher price. To them its only a matter of bottom line. To you, it can mean thousands of dollars of damages and hassles.
They are not needed, the high compression creates enough heat for the air fuel mixture to self ignite.They are not needed, the high compression creates enough heat for the air fuel mixture to self ignite.
yes the pads in compression shorts don't help enough
Yes, at a high enough temperature Copper will burn and combine with Oxygen to form Copper oxide.
To effectively solder a copper pipe, first clean the pipe and fittings with emery cloth. Apply flux to the cleaned surfaces. Heat the joint evenly with a propane torch. Once the joint is hot enough, apply solder to the joint. The solder will melt and flow into the joint, creating a strong bond. Allow the joint to cool before testing for leaks.
