Best Of

I recently looked at a re pipe which the contractor had used mega press on the header including the equilizer ,Hartford loop tee and back to the boiler . Unfortunately 3 of press press joints where leaking and had some quite large cauliflower growing aside from leaking when operating . Of course it was piped terribly so it may have been worse had it not been so easy w the mega press but they still got it wrong anyway . I think w what they used in material cost wise they could have piped it in cast iron and used both tappings and it been about the same price . They of course would not return for what ever reason and I didn’t get the job for the repipe the boiler and 3 steam mains repairs and re pitching of the mains among a lot of other neglected issue . Same ole same ole under performing systems and people live w it or replace it w a better zero maintance just replace system . As for mega press I guess for a emergency repair or in wall repair ok but to do a steam boiler nbp in it ,I would think it would be cost prohibitive when it comes to say a 3 or 4 tee better yet reducing tees ouch . Biggest hang up is the cost and waste being zero is reusable just to the recycle if lucky .
Peace and good luck clammy
