Need to connect my 1" logstor pipe to 1" copper stub pipe one on top by the valve and other on bottom of pump. Had them hooked direct and stove shifted and moved during freezing and thawing. Need something more flexible. The lines would stretch out and leak at the compression fitting . Any ideas? Seen the flex stainless but heard it's junk .
