Well the seals/bung OD size is just under 7/8". A standard 3/4" copper pipe is 3/4" ID, 7/8" OD, which means the 3/4" fittings are really 7/8" ID. In other words, if you lay down $0.20 on a cheap copper coupler, you'll have a niceholder that you can clamp in a vice. Even if you have to make a side-trip someday to the hardware store to get this, its easily as much time as freezing them, but I can't see how having an ideal sized, clampable holder is worth more to you than the $0.20 you put down on it.

If nothing else, get it from the Homeless Depot and return it the next day. Then slap the returns casheir's *** and call it a good day.
