Just curious if anyone has used a new product called Push 'n Go? They are available for sale here in Wisconsin at Menards which is a regional home improvement store.
The manufacturer says that these fittings can be used to join dis-similar plumbing materials together (Copper, PEX, CPVC). The fittings are extremely expensive for plumbing fittings ($8-$10 per fitting). Obviously, I do not plan to plumb the entire house with them but they may come in handy in a tight spot. Also, these fittings can be removed and reused after installation in case you made a mistake and need to make changes.
The engineering of the fittings is similar to what you find in a push-on style bathtub spout. There are a couple of o-rings inside the fitting and some locking clips that hold the pipe in place. While I was in the store, I test fit some of these fittings to some copper and CPVC and they seem to make a pretty secure dry connection. I have no idea if they will hold up under pressure or heat or both.
Anyone used it?
