last lot of bristan tap tails i had where so poor, copper was so soft it took a while to reshape them to get a fitting on. that was on all 64 basin mixer taps i fitted on the site, there was no way i would have put a compression fitting on them.
Yeah they were crap. Last year, I had a simple morning job to change a basin mono tap (as above) the tails were rubbish. Ended up binning them and buying flexi's. Not a cop out, they were awful. I'm a big Bristan fan too.
Anyway, I have used compression joints on copper tails, no problem. I've also soldered them in the past....a loooooong time ago. Not sure if I'd do that now!!
