This innovation reduces installation time by 50%, cuts labor costs, and offers exceptional pressure resistance, all while providing significant cost savings compared to traditional brass fittings.

The person doesn’t need to be highly skilled in soldering copper or brass fittings and they don’t need expensive pressing equipment, whether it is PEX or copper.” – Best of IBS Judge
