With all the solar work and other types of renewables that we do it's time to consider investing in a press-fit kit.
For those of you that don't know, in solar we can't generally use solder, so that usually means compression fittings with brass olives. However we know that we can get solar rated press-fit fittings.
We need 15,22,28,35 as a minimum, (and occassionally 42mm)
We're looking to speed up our work though and so are going to go down the press-fit / mapress / Xpress route. As we've not used them extensively before would like your guys feed back on which one to go for and why?
Cost of tool, cost of fittings, availability of fittings, compatibility of tools and fittings, who stocks what etc.
