It was on a hot water circulation line, and the rolled edge caused cavitation to orrur in the elbow, eroding it out. That was a new one for me....
I've also seen pex fittings blow off, iron and galvanized rot out..... so, they all have issues one way or another, lol.
They sure do all have their pluses and minuses. Had a 90 blow off on a circulation line? Like, a boiler with a whole 15psi on it or a high pressure boiler?
