Push fit

Why not ?

You think a rubber o ring is more reliable than yourself soldering a copper fitting onto copper pipe?

Would always prefer copper pipe/fittings but as mentioned above it push fit has its place,I have the pleasure of plumbing the local gypsy site cabins for the council,SPEED FIT is a huge benefit to me,the quicker I'm away the better!

Crimped steel and copper fittings are used on most sites now and they too rely on an o ring.

Had to replace a section of corroded cold feed pipe on Friday, I would almost always solder it but this job was for a lady who has 2 kids with learning difficulties (p.c.?) who can do some spontaneous stuff - sometimes causing damage/injury - so didn't want a flame about or a hot torch putting down.
It was nice and quick, I 'semi' snatched it (water off but didn't drain hot so was getting back flow), I was in and out in 15 minutes thanks to Mr Guest.
They definately have their place and I trust it as I've never really had a problem with it, I think badly fitted plastic has harmed the reputation more than anything.

I was on a late one Friday and when I finally found the leak I really couldn't be bothered to get the torch out so I used two tectite straight couplings. Looks a lot more professional than speedfit especially as I've had to leave the void open to allow it to dry and for the loss adjuster from the insurers to check.
