Hello All,
I hope that bringing attention to this `New product` from Uponor does not break any Forum rules ?
It is basically a new Pex pipe system where the user fits a `Collar` to the end of a piece of pipe [to limit the amount of pipe diameter expansion] - then expands the pipe diameter using a cordless `Pipe Expander` tool - then just pushes the fitting into the expanded pipe end - the pipe then `shrinks back` to its original size creating a water tight joint - presumably within just a few seconds ?
Here is a link to a Video about making the joints - there was no sound when I watched some of it - I think that I watched enough to see what is involved - hopefully my brief description above covers the basic principles:
I receive regular Emails about articles in the `Installer online` Magazine and this new product alert was in the latest Email - here is the Installer online webpage related to this:

What do Members think of this new Pex pipe system ?
