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.
@@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

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