- Stainless steel PEX fittings 💪 💦
First introduced by @BoshartIndustries back in 2020, Stainless steel is a much stronger alternative to brass and plastic when making a plumbing repair. What do you guys think? Is this something you might use. Let me know in comments #BoshartSponsored #plumbing #plumber #diy
Sounds like a good idea to me. I like the long sweep 90s. Plastic definitely restricts flow a lot more, and brass is always made from super thin cheap yellow brass that corrodes or clogs itself shut, especially on city water.
Great point!
Boshart definitely has a unique design.
Yeah I didn’t even know these existed till recently. Definitely liking the stainless steel!
If Boshart asks, tell them we are all waiting for their stainless expansion line. Great content 👍
Nice! I’ve never heard of nor seen these fittings. I’m calling my supplier in the morning haha
Nice I don’t like pex plastic fittings that is why I prefer crimp over expansion tool
They actually make brass expansion fittings .. and a little bird told me Boshart might be coming out with Stainless steel expansion fittings 👀
Yes we used to use the brass fittings with hand expansion tool before the battery era;not good experiences in the winter
I prefer working with Mapress system, which is completely in stainless steel. Never understood this American love for plastic tubes.
What gets me is if you talk to a manufacturer they say you must use. Their tool, fitting, tubing, and crimp or no warranty. Yet there is so much after-market stuff and so many brands are no longer available or the supply house switched brands and you need expensive minimums to get any. So if you're doing a small amount of work, you use whichever pex A or B stuff you have on your truck. And you can crimp pex A, in fact, the stuff that is splitting you cannot expand you have to crimp it. So where do we all stand on liability these days?
Yeah not sure what to say, you can use whatever crimper you want with these .. I haven’t heard otherwise
@@theplumberlorian This is just Viega but seems like if it's not all their stuff it's no warranty: Subject to the conditions and limitations in this Limited Warranty, VIEGA
LLC (Viega) warrants to the owner of applicable real property in the United
States (including its territories) and Canada that the components in its
PureFlow Plumbing System (as described below) when properly installed
by licensed plumbers in potable water systems, under normal conditions
of use, shall be free from failure caused by manufacturing defects for a
period of twenty-five (25) years from date of installation.
The Viega PureFlow Plumbing System and components covered by this
twenty-five (25) year warranty are:
Viega PureFlow cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing installed
with PureFlow Press fittings in metal or polymer and PureFlow Press
sleeves sold by Viega installed as a system.
Viega PureFlow cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing and ASTM F1807
metal crimp insert fittings sold by Viega and ASTM F2159 PolyAlloy crimp
fittings sold by Viega installed with copper crimp rings as a system
Great point. We go with what we are most confident in. We know with a lot of confidence that these crimp style fittings work, so we use these on the residential service side. We have been seeing a lot of PEX-a split and crack so we don't re-expand it when we tie in. Crimp it down with these or Pureflow.
