Hi I just wondered what. Folk thought about maxi pro fittings.
i was using some the other day.
as we were very short of time ( too busy)
and did like the fact that no hot works was needed . And did not need to get. Oxy bottles out or purge nitro
The joints are all accessible , I guess they would not make them if they were rubbish
Used it on one job that had a ban on hot work. I was impressed by the speed and ease of fitting. You can get 5 year guarantee if you attend the training day. Good tool.
Thanks for the reply as you say quick and easy. And good for a hot work ban.
i did not know about the. Five year guarantee if you go on the course.
its not a cheap thing for us in jersey to attend a course in the uk
As the flights are expensive
And I would need a hotel too.
i wonder if they would come to jersey for promotional training session.
You can but askQuote:

My worry is 12 months after they’ve been used.
We’re looking at using them on a 55 fan coil job that we’ve recently won but we’re still unsure.
I've had a demo and they look well made they have there place ie hot works lack of carbon build up during braising speed and possible not a vast amount of knowledge to use them my down sides are the cost of fittings compared to using a hillmoor or bender and the rubber o ring inside the fitting that's my biggest concern 12 months five years no problem but 7 years 10 years down the line it may be a different story
I tried the alloy pipe that did not go well luckily I tried on one install first so it will be interesting to sea outcome but unless I can't have a hot works I will stick to braising at mo
I have been using. A few more of these crimped fittings but only where totally. Accessible.
ive been. Installing. Ac in houses lately and. Braze every thing , mind you hot works is not a issue as. You can find a. Chap welding. Metal onsite .
and all pipe work is. Burried in ceilings. And walls .
time. Will tell but they are a well made fitting .
i don't know what te problem is. With oxy acetylene , we are long past. Turning up to a job with perished hoses and. Broken regulators and worn out kit however. I do understand no hot works in a. Care home or hospital for example.
