if you're using a test tee, i believe they're very thin or DWV, either way, its not very safe at all, only use parts labeled NSF-PW. also i dont like genova's fittings and pipe, they're very low quality compared to other brands, and the pipe wall thickness differs in places, making it possibly weak in some places
