Product Information

This was maybe 40 year old installation when this started. I've never seen anything quite like it. Forget about solder joints failing. This was just the pipe itself. With 30 feet of head above me this would have been a horrendous bear to dry this for resolder and the size of pipe would have made shark alternatives a real PIA as well. service with 2, 1 and 1/2 and 1 and 1/4 copper piping that had , on the hot side, started to develop pin hole leaks in the hot side basement transits before the risers. See attached picture.

Of course Luigi Galvani has to be involved. The city water pipes up this way are a mishmash of old oak mains and cast iron growing god knows what inside. Moreso than any other buildings on this same water system, I have notice that this building manifests clogged aerators like going out of style with no question iron oxide amongst the constituents of the clogs. Manufacturers can do accelerated testing to predict life cycle if the product has not been around for 50 years, for example. Copper had been on roofs in Europe for hundreds of years, exposed to all sorts of weather and pollution conditions. I have to admit opportunity cost is adding up in its favor. I hope I'm not creating and more problems for later albeit my experience with this cooper pipe system makes me wonder if the pipe can't last as long as the joining system whether fretting about the joining is as worth it as I thought.You don't have permission to access "http://www.homedepot.com/b/Plumbing-Plumbing-Tools-Pipe-Fitting-Tools-Crimp-Tools/N-5yc1vZ2fkojuj" on this server.

Even with balanced Ph, I wonder that some of the new water treatment chemicals used in public water treatment are going after copper when all conditions line up? Any press or grip fitting with just a small o-ring seal make you wonder. As new and stronger chemicals are being added to public water systems the O ring material needs to be compatible.

Press-fit fittings delivered quickly

I think that sweat copper fittings which are properly installed will outlast press fittings. Lots of bad installs both ways, probably more bad sweat connections. I think press fittings were designed as time savers, repair fittings, etc. They are also good if you need to get around hot permit work. If you’re working more on DIY projects at home, and wouldn’t necessarily need or have professional equipment, you may prefer using push-fit fittings instead. The right fittings for the job At Milwaukee®, Heavy Duty is more than just a slogan. It is a promise to offer the best to professional users. So on another note, we're now ondemand hot water which we installed during the pipe rerouting and replacement in the basement. There was an old gravity based hot water recirc with a half inch branch off the top of each hot manifold returning to the cold water feed to the water heater. It was only marginally effective anyway and a source, in my mind, of festering who knows what being stored with all the crap coming in from the city. In hindsight, whole house filtration would have been appropriate here but I'm only discovering all these issues 45 years down the line from this major replumb - and I must say that the folks who did it wouldn't have known that this house was a particular vector for every bit of crap in the system for some reason.

I had been wrapping rubber roofing with hose clamps on the pipes where i could get to them but some of this ran through finished ceilings and i was starting to see spots there. I changed the piping routes and had the whole thing fixed in about 3 hours with the press tool. I was convinced.
