Hi, been in the business for 6-8 months. Came from plumbing background until work here in KC dried up.
My first ever question:
Had been using press connect - Viega and NIBCO - copper press connections in plumbing which had been saving my uncles firm a bunch of time PLUS was no-flame.
Why hasnt this technology been used in refrigeration. If its a compatability of the o-ring with R-410a surely there is an o-ring of a different material that would suit?
Called Viega, they were ZERO help.
Seems a no brainer to me. Googled flame free alternatives are they seem too high tech.
Thankyou
Sam
