Title: Pro Pex Connection
Post by: TheCrier on September 19, 2010, 08:40:15 PM

This is the first time I have used this type of connection.

I am able to still turn a fitting like a 90 even after it has went back to its original shape.

Is this normal?

I've seen that technique used before.  I never was crazy about it, so I really don't know!

yes that is normal, you can spin them, wirsbo connections or considered a factory connection unlike the stainless steel ring type, they both work but wirsbo is a solid connection and time tested. I use the wirsbo connection in walls when buried in my business and the stainless rings in the basement for speed.

Yep, filled everything last week with glycol mix and cranked on the pumps. Bled air and absolutely no leaks. Wirsbo works like a charm.   :thumbup:

All that's left to do is permantely secure and fasten everything to the wall and she's all good.
