Thanks for your reply in advance
I replaced mine with shark bite, very easy and shark bite has release tool. If you have the ability and the equipment PCV glued work great. IMO I don’t like compression style, IMO they tend to seep little causing discoloration and calcium build up. But depend on what you type material working with?
