Why do you say that they are "retrofit fittings"?


Because I think it is their strongest point, not that they are limited
to just that. They're too expensive to plumb an entire house or
addition - doesn't make sense financially - and their ability to marry
PVC, PEX, and copper makes them ideal for plumbing repair work and
transitions from old to new.
