I mentioned Reliance Worldwide to a plumber at my home expecting him to heap praise on their products but he was not very positive. He claimed awareness amongst plumbers of those famous quick join connectors failing and their clients are not necessarily very happy at all…???!!

Thanks for the feedback Rick. Presumably there are fans and detractors in the plumbing sector too.
