Apprentice plumbers worry that press-fit fittings like ST 90 are not set properly and lack a reliable way to verify correct installation and level.

There is no purpose-built tool for apprentices to verify that a press-fit fitting is fully seated and level during installation, leading to reliance on guesswork and worry.
