[Public-List] Original swageless fittings?

[John Birch]

Suggest you confirm which product you have.

You cannot safely mix Staloc parts with Norseman or vice versa.

If the design has changed for the inserts from the manufacturer you should 
contact them to see if they are "backwards compatible"

Or else do as Gord suggested.

Best

John
