Wet on the surface is no problem, it will evaporate with the torch. If there is water in the pipe, it will not solder because the water keeps the copper from getting hot enough. As long as the water is below the point of solder, it will work. Open the nearest valve or have some way for the steam to get out of the pipe.
You will want to put a length of copper into the fitting and solder it before you put it on the galvanised so that you don't cook out the pipe dope. >>they also could have soldiered on a flange on copper and thread on galvanized pipe.would have been another choice
I am sorry, but can you PLEASE rephrase your question? Can WHAT be used for copper pipe? When? How? Why?
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.

It is very easy to damage any copper pipe.
YOU thread or braze copper pipe Copper tubling you solder, braze, flaire, compression ring, mechincal joints
no
Galvanized pipe will be silver/gray color. Copper will be copper. Use a magnet, it'll stick to galvanized pipe but not to copper. Drinking water lines should not be black steel pipe.
Copper pipe was common anywhere in US.
It is probably referring to the type of fitting. A fitting that is soldered to a copper pipe. It is called sweating when you use solder and a torch to connect copper pipe together or attach fittings to copper pipe.
will carbon steel pipe touching copper pipe cause electrolysis in plumbing situations using water.
