Thanks again for the replies. Has any one else had the same problem with chinese pipe and fittings? And, if so what is it specifically that would make these more prone to cracking? I would just like to know so I can tell the folks I working for exactly what is taking place.
Thanks,

I would not say "always". Not all foreign made materials are bad. There are a few countries where graft is a common practice that usually produce bad product. But there are others (europe, japan) that have some very good product. Don't let the bad practices of the industry in one or two countries influence your opinion of all the others that do make good products. However, it is wise to use caution for any manufacturer, regardless of country of origin (including U.S.), that you have no prior experience with.
