No its a fitting adapter. Copper sweat x pex a.Someone tried to press solder on PCA’s?
Yes. Like I said both of those fittings work. If you can see the stop on the one on the right, is very close to the Jaws when you press. I'm assuming the leaks are from the Jaws contacting the stop.They both look like brass.
Can you use pro press on brass?
I never use pro press, just wondering.
I have only observed pressed fittings made of copper.
Thanks for the repeat.
They are both uponor same brand. One is low lead one is not. They both fully insert. Beyond that I'd have look. Maybe I'll open the book I have on them.It needed to be made clear. One post you say it’s not meant to be pressed then the next post you say it can be pressed but you have to be careful.
It’s either wrong or right, the manufacturer allows it or not.
So does the manufacture approve of it or not, or do you know ?
What brand is it ?
I think the distiction would be one that is meant to be pressed and one that is meant to be sweat. I don't think one means the other can't be done, just one is made specifically for press. That's where reading carfully would come in I guess.
I am curious about what uponor would say. This is exciting.
Hydronic non low lead and low lead brass is the other difference between these two fittings. Companies make all kinds of things for all different reasons. Tooling? Maybe the one on the right is old the other new or vice versa. That's the point of the post buddy. Be aware.Why would they make one specifically for pressing when the solder version would work fine and is meant to be dual use ?
They make the fitting for the hell of it ?
Acctually the one for hydronics looks like it's meant to have a threaded fitting soldered to it so you can grip it. It's hex.Why would they make one specifically for pressing when the solder version would work fine and is acceptable for dual use ?
They make the fitting for the hell of it ?
You think they like to waste brass making a obviously larger fitting for pressing when the solder version works fine ?
The pex side has the rib. The other side is copper pipe size.Never seen a press fitting without the rib on the outside. What size are those? Is there an oring in the one on the left?
We talked about this. I don't think one Being meant to be sweat precludes it from being pressed. And yes I did encourage your misguided thought. Mainly to be a smart ass becuse you were goading me into a fight.
Let me know what uponor has to say. I really do want to know.
Both of those adapters can be pressed. The one on the left is designed to be pro pressed. The one on the right is labeled pex x copper sweat. The one on the left is labeled pro press pex x copper pipe (I think that's what I read).You posted a pic of two adapters.
You warn to use an adapter that’s meant to be pressed.
You never differentiate which one is meant to be pressed and which one was not.
I stated the the one on the right is not meant to be pressed.
You agreed, called it a repeat post.
So I’m asking you to post a pic of the uponor adapters that should not be pressed, you know the ones you’re giving the public’s revive announcement about.
By logical deduction if there are adapters that are meant to be pressed and you’re giving a warning to use the adapters meant to be pressed, uponor must have adapters that are not meant to be pressed.
Please post a pic of uponor adapters you’re warning everyone about.
