Have a job that needs a water service cut off in the crawl space. The existing water line, 3/4" galv comes up vertically from the ground then branches out to feed fixtures with a couple of T's.
This stuff hasn't been touched in 50 + yrs. If I can't break it apart and insert a copper male adapter effectively I've found galv (long sleeve) compression fittings to transition to copper or pex. These may not necessarily be Dresser Co. fittings but a China import. My plumbing supply house has the China import galv and bronze.
Question ? Are these galv compression sleeves effective / reliable ? Haven;t heard too much about them.Anyone share their experience with these ?
Further.....If I end up having to tie into the buried horiz 3/4" service in the crawl space can I use a galv or bronze comp sleeve ?
