For sure. It's definitely no big deal to buy new bits, I just like
re-using things whenever I can. :-)

(and heck, that was a fast reply. I love this group...)

If you're buying from somewhere like BES, fittings aren't
expensive enough to bother reusing.

Too true, I can't believe people would even try to re-use soldered
fittings.
I dont even re-use compression fittings (or pipe, it all goes on the
scrap pile), it just isnt worth the time to clean them for re-use, as
well as the possibility that they may not seal so well as new ones as
they could have slightly deformed in use.(not talking olives here, just
the bodies and nuts).
