might be a bit controversial with some of you, but... NO NO NO. do NOT use them in a place they can not be accessed. like inside a wall. Most codes prohibit there use in such locations, for a reason, they are more likely to come apart than a soldered joint, and make a heck of a mess when they do come apart, or loosen up. I have never had a properly glued or soldered joint come apart, but I have had properly installed compression joints leak and/or come apart. Michael
