As part of my remodel, I need to re-plumb domestic water to replace some recalled Kitec, while everything is open.
Is making a reliable fitting as simple as the instructions and videos say (ream inside and outside, verify proper insertion depth)? i.e. as a capable DIY, is it a practical, reliable solution with minimal training?
Thanks!
Other notes:
I would prefer to copper for personal health preference, and don't want to 'learn to sweat' on a bunch of plumbing that will be behind the walls, though no doubt with time I have enough attention to detail to learn to do a decent job.
I've been weighing PEX vs Propress and have read all the opinions about Propress. All in all, I think it has had enough market time to make me comfortable to consider it, though maybe I'm not quite as comfortable as someone seasoned making a sweat joint.
