This was great. Thank you.

Very nice video showing a high quality company in action! Congratulations!

Good job. Seems like the increase in cost of the fittings would be better served increasing pipe diameter if flow is vital.

20 inch cartridge if the blue housing measures 20 inches?

Isn't the curvature.of this SS fitting better for flow than the other teo? Can't use this for A. I never was a fan of brass for lighting, locks, etc. Cheapo. Always corrodes. Yeah, such brass plumbing fittings are better quality than such '70s examples of other usages.. Still, f brass. Why not bronze? Probably chemicals. He he. SS likely holds up better. Stronger against freezing. Better quality. Probably purchase. Isn't long term commercial copper leaching bad for bods?

Good example

All talk and no visuals.

Also have the option to run 3/4" PEX B and use thick push-fit brass aka shark bite fittings where flow is a concern then switch over to plastic, or stainless. Don't forget that copper pipe & Pro Press viega fittings seems to be growing - though I would say plastic in new construction is dominant.

Thank You dear:)

Video is probably good but the drone sound is overpowering the narration and makes it very difficult to listen to. I know others have complained. Maybe remove the drone sound or redo the narration without the sound. It's unfortunate because this is good information, but I'll have to go elsewhere to get it.

The music is so horrible and over powering, it makes this video unwatchable. What idiot thought that was a good idea. Did anyone at Boshart even listen to this video before posting it? Just the base alone in the almost music is enough to induce a seizure.

Don't need the music 😭

Is there a sacrificial brass swap-out part, like on a water heater?

Fittings for 3/4” pipe are about 1/2” internal diameter

Another benefit of a spin down is filtering out courser sediment before it plugs the injectors in your water softener (since your finer filtration systems are always after your water softener).

I should have use stainless ones, used brass instead. Will definitely get stainless next time.

Had brass fitting snap in half leaving my water softener. Looked like a chemical reaction making it brittle. It was less than 5 years old. Didn’t know they had stainless and will be locking into changing to it in the future.

Did not make it clear .. stainless steel tee with brass additions... nipple, etc... Sad to say but a lot of home depot, manards, fleet farm do not have a big selection... and other mail want one to buy whole setup at high price!!!

I am about to do a total refit from PVC pipe to Pex. But I am going with Pex A expansion type pipe. With not being able to find stainless steel Type A expansion type pex fittings. I am going to have to go with Brass or Plastic.

What do you recommend to prevent stainless on stainless galling? Thanks.

What is the cost factor

But I "thought" SharkBite was the best LOL LOL LOL. Joking of course. I wouldn't use SharkBite's if they were free. Rubber O-rings and chlorinated city water DON"T MIX people. It's not if they will fail but when.

Not sure of a well driller that likes them? Am i wrong? My driller hates them?

Almost liked all shorts ❤

Good 😂

Whats the benefit here ?

Music is annoying and unnecessary. Hard to hear what you’re saying.

Would have been nice if you would have done stainless vs brass..... Very nice web site... thank you

This one needs work....this is video... show on actual parts....

If I raise the "D" style Handle, to full "ON" ... (Approx. 180 degrees from the "OFF" position)...and let go of the handle....the handle falls back..or..snaps back...or springs back ... to 90 degrees..... *on it's own* ....????? .....with a significantly lower/slower flow rate......(obviously) What adjustments are needed to get the handle to STAY, at 180 degree FULL "ON" ...... *I have NO LEAKS anywhere, above ground* -----> ONLY SAID HANDLE ISSUE...!!! Internet search....isn't helping, it's all about fixing LEAKS ...........Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Why not make these so they actually connect to the standard tanks and water heaters with the correct FPT fittings? Terrible.

Nice company, great products!

Hi is a bigger tank better?

when is a sediment filter or separator needed?

Ehhhhh...... how did i get here?

Yeah well once your oxide-passivation layer wears down by erosion of the pipe over time, it will probably rust and you wont get more than 10 to maybe 20 years out of the fitting. I don't trust "coated" products. Honestly if people want long lasting pipes they need to bring back lead pipes. Copper erosion wears down over time, Pex can have variable results based on conditions, chemicals in the water, and other things like leeching amonia. If the lead really bothers you, get a filtration system. Lead resists erosion way better than copper, so you would not get much lead runoff in your pipes (if they were manufactured properly with a smooth bore) not only that you dont get problems with lead in your water if you run the water frequently. Lead is an amazing element despite its obvious toxicity. If you want a water proof seal, use lead. Friend of mine told me a story about his great grandfather who couldn't afford to buy some grout, so he grouted his tile with molten lead. 100 years later no failures, lol.

Brass are lead free ?

I’m irritated that you ruined a good video with very annoying droning “music” 😮 It’s so loud you can’t even call it background music. It’s foreground noise that competes with the voice. Why are you making your viewers suffer?

Why use pex at all ?

I switched to plastic from brass after seeing so much "dezincafication" (zinc corrosion) on the brass fittings. I have noticed pressure losses, esp. in houses with lower water pressure. I'v been eyeing the stainless ones @VAMAC, but haven't committed yet.

PLEASE STOP THAT F------G MUSIC.

Your video may have solved a mystery that I’ve been trying to rectify. Had my HW tank replaced and the plumber used 3/4” plastic fittings in lieu of the original brass. He also replaced additional 3/4 and 1/2 brass fittings with plastic due to minor drips. Ever since, pressure has been noticeably reduced, especially on the third floor bathrooms. His response to follow up was loss of pressure was due to limitation of the tank. Don’t BS a DIY’er…we have the time and incentive to identify and solve our own problems. Going to procure some stainless and swap them out. Interesting experiment.

What's the point of using brass or stainless steel fittings with a plastic pipe? I also get around the smaller restrictions of plastic connectors by simply upsizeing the pipes from 3/4 to 1 inch and 1/2 to 3/4 inch with pex b. This, of course, isn't an issue when using pex A as its fittings go on the outside of the pipe, thereby not restricting the flow. If you're not confident in plastic fittings, maybe you shouldn't be using a form of plastic pipe. I'm just saying....

I enjoyed your informative video. It would have been much easier for my old ears to hear if you didn't have the "non music" background constantly competing with the message.

Just loved the way you inserted that loud ass music that just kept getting louder, to where no one could hear the video at all…. Lousy video

That music is too loud and distracting... next....

How about manufacturing stainless steel pex 1607 fittings?

Does it come with just a screw on top so I can exchange it for a new one? Otherwise I'll have to dig a hole six feet down through frozen dirt.

Way to many plumbing distractions in this great music video!
