Tutorial on connecting Propress fittings. Using Milwaukee press tool.

[@cjmiles9758]

Wow I can't express how helpful this was. You were so patient. Talking just like a teacher. Didn't care how dumb we are. You literally know the definition of when " you need to start somewhere " Wish I had a boss like you !

[@timothyblaney4526]

very clear & helpful. thanks.

[@Roscoschickenwaffles]

Ahhh I was wondering how the hell these seal and now I see that there’s a rubber o ring in there! Thanks

Have you had any weeping with M copper

QUESTION what model of jaws are you using?

Milwaukee

Or since brazing the joint does not degrade like a rubber o-ring do that instead.

[@DavidWendel]

The O-ring is not the main sealer of the fitting, it is the crimp. There are lots of videos where the o-ring has been removed and the pipe does not leak.

And then your reference line “disappeared” inside the pipe… you weren’t fully seated in the first place.😮

The fun thing with Propress fittings is that it may take weeks or even months before the leaks become apparent.. If they are inside the walls or the ceiling, that's where the real fun begins. If you trust rubber gaskets that much , maybe you should plumb your house with garden hoses.You won't even have to buy the $500 tool... Think of the time and money you will save.

Listen not to call anybody uneducated or unexposed to the day-to-day with the material and the tool. I have pressed thousands of times. I have used Nibco, Mueller and Viega ranging all the way up from half to four inch. We put this s*** in 30 million homes with booster pumps. I hydrostatic my systems to 140 PSI after bleeding all of the f****** air out of everything making sure that all the volume controllers are open and that all heaters are looped. I used to hate this s*** as much as anybody thinking it was going to put the skill out of the trade but you have to adapt or you'll get buried. Make sure the O-rings are clean make sure the pipe is beveled push that c*** all the way on and squeeze it. If the failure rate was so high on this the insurance companies would outlaw it like polybutylene.

Your comment shows you have no clue about pro press

[@williardbillmore5713]

@@16912outdoors I have enough clues to know I will never use that lazy man's garbage again. Have you ever seen a ceiling come down because of a slow leak from a plumbing fitting that looked great and performed well for the two weeks before the ceiling was closed in.
