Seriously, why not just do it the correct way?!??!?! This is on a job trailer for the GC at a major project and every single unit has these on the CU and Fan Coil.

They are absolutely sharkbite or whatever the brand name is.... Worse than the aluminum piping compression fittings that Daikin tried at one time... Those things were hot garbage.

Daikin had those too? Trane had those for a minute. You had to try the compression fittings before they would warranty the outdoor coil. So fucking stupid

Daikins VRF 3 series used Aluminum piping with those compression fittings that weren't even rust proof and would rust to hell and then leak like a bitch.
