I used to build handwash & dry units the pipe sets used pushfits I can't remember the brand (white with grey collars). No problems fitting and tested every unit but sometimes the pushfits leaked. No problems with soldering to brass connectors or brass spray nozzles. Sometimes the plastic taps with metal nuts leaked.
On a TV program two presenters and some tradesmen redone a house (badly they only made a grand). Replaced the kitchen when house finished it leaked under the sink, copper pipe and plastic pushfits.
I have seen plastic pipe with an insert before going into a plastic pushfit.
Is it like for like either copper pipe and copper fittings or plastic pipe and plastic fittings, or are there pushfits that you can trust.
