Should we replace them?
They can all easily be replaced with shark bite for less than 100 dollars i(maybe more now with inflation) if you have some knowledge. Search for my old post explains everything With utube video on how to remove them. Mine was an 20 years old before I replaced them. They had no signs of leaks, but I was afraid the vinyl hose was deteriorating only reason I replaced them .
