Ive been using speedfit for over 10 years, it was originally designed and still used by the cellar brewery industry. I have had problems with it the same as endfeed, tectite, yorshire, ployplumb, hep20, qualpex, compression.
Basically any jointing method needs to be fit for purpose. Noone wants to see a plastic fitting, so I will use plastic pipe and fittings under floors or baths. And copper where it's seen, having said that sometimes like when I need to cap off a pipe, a white speedfit cap looks better, but not when the pipe is heavily painted then compression is better. The point is that plastic pipe and fittings is another tool in our armory, its how we use it that makes us professional.
