Could you do a video explaining how to properly press on Baseboards and inserts with Propress on thinner pipes etc for extensions and such?
one step at a time replacing skilled workers
I'll stick to soldering and plastic/pvc/PEX
Great video. DIY homeowner here and I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these for two upcoming hybrid water heater installations that involve repiping. Expensive it is but it will save me a lot of headaches and stress… DIY not to save money but to do it right.
How do those seals hold up over time. Clorine tends to wroght most rubber seals.
the fact that you can use it on a line full of water is the biggest selling point imo… great for repair work
We have soldered copper plumbing that is almost 125 years old in our old farm hours….no problems. I wonder if those rubber O-rings will do as well….
I don't trust the o-ring used in this press method. The o-ring is degrading over time.
I'm a plumber in Toronto. I do highrise buildings mainly, I enjoy soldering but I wish we would use pro press.
Much better then solder and torch. Pex is way cheaper and easier.
For me soldering isuch better and quicker in most settings…..for basement and areas where water doesn't shut off 100%, or exposed piping…I love pro press
There are also cheaper manual propress tools
That's a cool system. Aimed mostly towards the pro plumber.
Soldering a wet pipe easy and super cheap at the day old bread store.
Create a ball out of white bread after preparing the pipe and fitting shove the bread ball up the pipe as a stop. Once the job is done and water is back on pull the aerator from and faucets in that line and run the water for 5 minutes all the bread will dissolve into the water replace aerators and your done.
Just a question for you contractors and such, i know this tool saves time and money….is that the reason these things are so so expensive like 4000 for the kit? I was just curious, i work around these tools but im not in the trade, i just work with plumbers and fitters
Hi! Good video!!! Excuse me, Do you have any video how repair or change when this conexion is broken?
这个很不错
Propress is expensive unless you value time.
I will wait for the price to drop
If I buy the pex one, can l
change the presses for pro
press?
Pro press is easy but every single joint will leak in 15-20 years
How can I install a T on a 4” copper line using propress (bropress) 😀
To be more specific on an existing line that is already installed and solid and cant be bent or flexed
I'm waiting for another video about copper pipes….success for "Got2Learn"
good video, the copper to copper that I usually use at vocational high school for cooling and air conditioning engineering, the connector used is plain not like in this video
These have their place, but you would NEVER find one of these fittings in my house. Solder only. It lasts a lifetime. These do not.
Is this recommended for direct burial applications?
1 word,,, PEX.
It sucks that the de-burring tool only has 3 blades in it. Its very awkward on smaller tubing.
Damn I just bought these tonight thinking they were just push on fittings like shark bites lol.. had no clue you needed pretty much a machine to put them on
