Have you had any weeping with M copper

QUESTION what model of jaws are you using?

The fun thing with Propress fittings is that it may take weeks or even months before the leaks become apparent.. If they are inside the walls or the ceiling, that's where the real fun begins. If you trust rubber gaskets that much , maybe you should plumb your house with garden hoses.You won't even have to buy the $500 tool... Think of the time and money you will save.

Listen not to call anybody uneducated or unexposed to the day-to-day with the material and the tool. I have pressed thousands of times. I have used Nibco, Mueller and Viega ranging all the way up from half to four inch. We put this s*** in 30 million homes with booster pumps. I hydrostatic my systems to 140 PSI after bleeding all of the f****** air out of everything making sure that all the volume controllers are open and that all heaters are looped. I used to hate this s*** as much as anybody thinking it was going to put the skill out of the trade but you have to adapt or you'll get buried. Make sure the O-rings are clean make sure the pipe is beveled push that c*** all the way on and squeeze it. If the failure rate was so high on this the insurance companies would outlaw it like polybutylene.

@@tray8411 cos you are relying on the crimping tool to apply the correct pressure and if you forget to properly prepare hte pipe you're done... once it leaks you have to cut the whole lot off and make new lengths of copper...can't just untighten and replace degraded orings either...... you have better feel and control with traditional compression nuts & olivs and ppfe tape... they are marketting these crimp connectors as 'easy' .. the inventor of this crimp method is just taking advantage of unsuspecting people who like to rush through a job and get it over with quick

This s*** don't fail if you prepare it properly! I have used it professionally for over a decade in all the sizes all the way up to 4 inch. In commercial, residential and freaking industrial. In hot and cold applications, it only leaks if you don't put it together right. If you suspend it properly and you don't stress it, it won't fail. Even with the presence of chlorine and fluoromine in Municipal Water Supplies the O-ring will still last 35 years.

very suspicious how you don't demonstrate no leakage at the end there.. .. cos they will leak is why you didn't do that

NUT+ OLIV... no silly crimp.. don't shortcut
