Failure! Will cost you more.

Would Not Recommend

Installed Jan 2022. Easy Peasy no leaks. Few months later plastic flakes coming off at hot water side, it is clearly deteriorating and will soon enough cause a flood! Do not use these! All the reviews are people who just installed thinking they saved time and money, jokes on us.
