I recently ordered the Klauke 19N kit and am ready to get it in my hands. It took me a long time of watching videos and obtaining all the information I could get to help me decide if it was worth buying. It’s a process that I believe will work provided the instructions are followed correctly. It’s not a cheap purchase but I’m always into looking at ways to make installing units a little easier. Yes the fittings too are costly but if it performs as advertised then I’ll know I made a good decision. It does take a lot of praying to drop that much money on a system that is coming into the industry as a better way than the silver solder and acetylene/oxygen process that’s been around for years. I just know that in my area there are numerous companies and individuals who have came on board with the RLS system and they are very happy they did. Going up into an attic with a plastic box with all the tools needed to join the line set rather than the old way is a game changer for me.
Man it would be nice to have one of those tools for flame free locations like hospitals when working on refrigeration cases tried the push on fittings but they leaked to the compression tool would have been great and a extremely helpful tool to have to repair the leaking SRB fittings.
