Product Information

Whether you need to connect copper pipes in the bathroom, kitchen, or elsewhere, it's always good to know what tools you'll need. We found that there are endless choices for crimping your pipes, whether you buy an entire kit or a single crimper. In contrast, crimping is easier for any skill set and should be permanent if done correctly. Furthermore, press fittings install faster, safer, and easier, which is when crimping comes into play. Unlike soldering, you don't need a torch or a deep pipe cleaning to crimp. With that said, you might prefer the promised permanent result from soldering. Copper is a popular plumbing material, as it ishighly corrosion-resistant in most underground environments. So, you will see copper pipes and fittings a lot when building or renovating your home.

There was an old gravity based hot water recirc with a half inch branch off the top of each hot manifold returning to the cold water feed to the water heater. It was only marginally effective anyway and a source, in my mind, of festering who knows what being stored with all the crap coming in from the city. In hindsight, whole house filtration would have been appropriate here but I'm only discovering all these issues 45 years down the line from this major replumb - and I must say that the folks who did it wouldn't have known that this house was a particular vector for every bit of crap in the system for some reason.
