OK, all you guru plumbers...I have found this site and all your advice a great wealth of knowledge indeed! But what are the pros and cons of all these different valve fittings? Why should I choose, or not choose, a compression fitting over a sweated or threaded fixture valve? What happens when a compression valve fails years from now; does the ferrule need replaced as well? I've read to use sweated supply valves and compression fixture valves, but why? Is the final answer just 'user preference' or are there specific reasons?
Thanks...you guys are great!
