Most of the regulations from the Obama administration working their way through the courts raise an issue concerning Chevron deference. The Supreme Court has before it a case, Esquivel-Quintana v. Sessions, raising the question whether Chevron deference trumps the rule of lenity in criminal cases. Auer deference has also come under attack in recent years. As with Chevron, in some circumstances the Court has declined to apply Auer deference altogether. Christopher v. SmithKline Beecham Corp., 132 S.Ct. 2156 (2012). In other cases, individual Justices have argued that it is time to reconsider Auer deference.
Brickeyee is on the point. ALL PEX piping uses some sort of Barb fitting with a compression ring. I have never ever heard of a single failure with this type system. Compression fittings use a ferrule either brass or plastic. The brass ferrule bites into the pipe wall, but the plastic ferrule does not. It is not a surprise to me that a Compression fitting which has a plastic ferrule failed.
Tom. PEX crimp and PEX clamp connections use the same fittings, normally referred to as âcrimpâ or âbarbedâ PEX fittings. Each method requires a different tool and a different type of ring, but the styles are similar enough that PEX newcomers frequently wonder which method is preferable.
