With all of the talk against shark bite fittings I have wondered why the same discussions have not been held about propress fittings. Both have an o ring seal.
I have seen those criticise crimp type pex installation as well yet propress is a crimp fitting. Pro press is almost the ultimate evil if you think about it. it holds the same seal as sharkbite and it crimps.
I have seen display of a manifold that turbulence has been discussed. When you crimp propress it changes the shape of the passage does it cause turbulence as well?
We use propress exclusively for repairs I am doing at a hospital, particulary freeze and repair. At the same time I keep a tec-tite(sharkbite) rig set up and ready to go on in the event of a problem. I personally am not against either of them. I think they are tools in our trade have a proper use.
Just curious, I thought it could stir up an interesting debate.
