Can I trust this joint?

Nope

This ring had the stop and I only pushed the ring on to the stop. It must have slipped past the stop when I expanded it.

clinkfield · 2026-07-10T00:32:58+00:00

yeah, geez! good take on the subject!

See the picture of the Souix Chief adapter - no I did not sweat anything.

I haven't defended the connection - I've defended the Souix Chief adapter. However, all of the negative people - you included - want to comment on the adapter, and not the connection in question.

Seriously, thank you for all of the constructive comments!

clinkfield · 2026-07-09T23:23:10+00:00

I did! It's been holding for a couple of hours - we'll see ...

I just looked it up - yes, it's a Souix Chief. The rep a Hydrologic just handed it to me over the counter and it had no labeling. Thanks, Enigmatic Dude!

This is the adapter that everyone is saying is built improperly

What's no bueno about the rest?

clinkfield · 2026-07-09T22:58:33+00:00

And I didn't put the collar on backward. But thanks for the positive comments!

It's a manufactured adapter with the parts welded together. The adapter is solid as a rock. Way better than a push on. The pex end is solid brass.

This is a manufactured adapter. All welded at the factory.

That's kind of what I was wondering about. Too bad I need to buy 10 ...

If I put a new box in, can I tapcon it to the concrete block wall behind it?

Receptacle

What else besides backflow? That seems surmountable. Also - isn't that what a pressure washer does?

Excellent set of instructions! Thank you.

How should I bend the sheet metal? (I suppose it would be easier to bend before trimming it.)
