vs. a 4 wheel inline skate
compression fittings work great but cost a lot ,easy to install.tom
wHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO IT IT IS best to take a class at your local hardware store. But. you need to clean the end of the pipe with a sandpaper or steel wool , past it with solders paste , this is done to both ends being joined. then put the pieces together and heat up and solder it. if you do it right it will suck in and all around sealing it tight.
There is a product called shark bite for non soldering connections for copper. They are expensive so you might look into replacing copper for something else like pvc. What pipes are you having problems with?
5 wheels frames spread the load over an extra wheel and roll faster than a 4 wheel frame with the same wheels. They also are more stable at high speeds. 5 wheels frames used to be the high end (racing and fitness skaters) until the 90, 100, 110 mm wheels became popular for the high end. The skates would become too long and heavy with the larger size wheels on them and the new sizes are faster. It is becoming harder to find 5 wheel skates anymore. The companies have replaced the lower end of skates that would have used them to 4x90mm.
