I mostly solder copper wire (Industrial Electrician), but have "sweated" A LOT of copper pipe too! It the over flow tube is too hard to sweat all the way around without leaking use a copper coupling. A HVAC or hardware store should have the size you need. Just bring in the broken piece to size. The larger pieces can be soldered slowly, short areas at a time.
