Hi,
I need to go from copper to CPVC pipe in what will be a no access wall. What's the safest,best way to go?
A compression fitting?
A push-in-fitting(it needs to be slim,not bulky.Many pipes next to each other with very little clearance.Also what brand?)?
A male thread to female slip copper fitting soldered to the pipe,then a threaded to slip coupler CPVC fitting screwed to it?
Bottom line,is a compression or puns-in fitting more secure than a threaded connection?
Please since this will be a no access wall,I only need professional advise.No opinions or old timers stuck on old technology.Thanks.

Would you get a compression in there then?
Unless the fitting was accessible for inspection over here we wouldn't bury compression fittings behind a wall. If you can leave a removable accessible inspection hatch then it would be ok.

fwiw
