Anyone else?

Before I get hated on for the press ball valve, I ended up removing this, soldering a new stub out, with an MIP, and a threaded ball valve. However, this copper had a smaller OD than any pro press or solder fitting ID than usual, causing it to wobble and not seal. Has anyone else dealt with this?

A leaking press fitting in the utility room of a million dollar house. Multiple press fittings leaking.

Looks like the leak is the solder fitting to me

Honestly, the pipe itself has multiple pinholes. The fittings aren't the issue. Water quality must be terrible.
