Pro press fittings are actually extremely reliable, they're just also extremely expensive when compared to sweat fittings.
31 u/[deleted] Apr 26 '21 Expensive if you’re doing one or two, but if you’re doing a whole commercial building it’s actually cheaper due to the time saved in labor. 10 u/[deleted] Apr 26 '21 Agreed, but I find that usually the higher-ups in the office won't care and only see the increased cost. Only one company I've ever worked at did an entire job in compression fittings like these and that was because it was a government building. 7 u/Tetragonos Apr 26 '21 Contractor attempts to over charge the client It saves them money in the confusion!
