    As a plumber, this shot doesn’t do justice for how bullshit crawl spaces are. 😂 this makes it look nice and open. Some are ig but most aren’t!

    I love whenever we get to use pro press we mainly use it on our new construction jobs though

    Touch nothing but the valve!
    Proceeds to touch the valve and everything around it. 😂

    Just wondering how can one know if low pressure is caused by a pressure reducing valve?

      If it's low pressure throughout the home and not at just one fixture it's either a failing PRV or low pressure directly from the city, or a constant leak. High water bill would explain the last. Contact your city for pressure at the main. Most likely failed spring in PRV.

    If that regulator and piping looks like that then the o-rings in the press fittings wont last that long.

      Fittings Guaranteed for 50yrs by manufacturer.

      The fittings haven't been around long enough to guarantee 50 years. I work in a hospital and for a short period we were using pro press because we didn't have to use open flames in patient rooms. Now we are constantly replacing leaking press fittings. They aren't any better than shark bite. Just a quick repair that isn't permanent

    Holds long enough for the payment to clear. LOL A torch and solder is too much hassle.

      Pro-press is actually pretty good for water. Now I could understand if he were fixing an A/C with the pro-press and saying this. But water pressure is fine. I use a pro-press almost weekly on water applications.

      @@ezone913 I'll put it this way. I've never had a pro-press leak, as long as it was done properly. 80 psi is nothing compared to 300 psi. I'm an A/C and hydronics tech, pro-press is a good product. I apologize that you want to pay more.
