I need to replace a corroded gas riser and I'm considering either the Home-Flex (with compression fittings) or the Continental Industries (Hubbell) with the Con-Stab ID Seal fittings. I can't do thermal fusion because of the lack available space (and the lack of the equipment to do it).
If you've worked with these before and have a preference, let me know.
Here are links to the 2 different brands/methods:
1) The Continental Industries riser.

And here's a video showing how the Con-Stab fittings are installed:
Seems like a shark-bite type of fitting.
2) The Home-Flex Riser
HOME-FLEX Underground Poly Pipe Fittings (homeflex.com)
(scroll down to see the risers).
And here's a video showing how the Home-Flex Fittings are installed.
Seems like a traditional compression design.
Pros/Cons/Preferences? Let me know.
