Wow, I just read up on Flair-It and see they've been around a while and have a 25 year warranty though this is the first I heard of them. Nicely engineered and no-tools needed unless you use their Pex-Lock fittings which can be installed with simple pliers. Amazing US engineering and manufacture and no metal parts to corrode.
