Had some plumbers repipe a main trunk link that connects
close to my hwh. There is a grey connector type thing attached to one end of the existing cPVC and instead of cutting that off and connecting the new cpvc with a coupling and some glue they decided to lay the new cpvc inside the other end of the grey connector and then tried to use one of the screwcap ends of a compression fitting to keep it in place. Needless to say it's busted twice today already. My question is, can i just cut the connector off and use some cpvc and a coupling to connect the cpvc down there or does it serve some purpose? I'm not sure if it's possibly a reducer or something but I would imagine all the cpvc down there would be 1/2".
