SharkBite plumbing fittings
http://www.pexsupply.com/CategoryPre.asp?cID=595&brandid=
A guy at Home Depot showed me this stuff. I have to move the water valves in my bathroom (remodel). I have not sweated copper in ages and I just know there will be at least one leak involving a re-do and a whole lot of bad words.
Anyway, the sharkbite stuff looks like a compression fitting of sorts with out any tools involved. No wrench to tighten or anything. just cut the copper to length, and pop the fitting on. If you make a mistake, ther is a tool to release the fitting and do it over. a 1/2" elbow is about $5.50 but it seems for a small job it might be worth saving the time and frustration of sweating if one is not proficient at it.
Has anyone dealt with this stuff?
Thanks
